A great movie, a story that is as true as it is artistic. It's not your typical pet/animal movie in which a friendship is born between a child and an animal and everything turns out okay for both - in the wild or not.
I'm trying not to give away any spoilers, but what I can say is that it's a very sad movie in the end, but as sad as life can be, really. We are taught a lesson that no matter how much we love someone (human or not), we cannot force them to live or save their lives just because we love them very much or they're cute.
I think it's a great movie for older kids to learn about how nature works and to understand the difference between what can and cannot be done, but it can be very depressing if you're expecting a cutesy-frutesy easy story with comic aspects.

This is my first review. When I saw that not many users had seen/reviewed this movie, I had to write one.

There is so much compassion in this simple video. The message it presented to me was very important. I love animals, especially foxes. However, I would say that the lesson in this video can be applied to all living things. Giving living things a better life, no matter the struggle, is worth it. If you were struggling or confused, happiness would be your most important value. Imagine someone gives their all to help you not be so afraid, and keeps you feeling safe and happy to the best of their abilities. Things will go the way that they go on their own, but you can make the journey easier. You can make a difference, even in less extreme cases.

I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. In my opinion, it really brings out the things that we should value in life.
