There seems no other reason to tell this rambling, glutinous tale - other than for us to go "ooh, aah" at the scenery, the seasons and the melting-eyed close-ups of Reynard the heart-throb.

3 stars out of 5 -- The season-spanning landscapes, badgers, woodpeckers and wolves are stunning, while scenes of the child petting the fox captivate.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Luc Jacquet doesn't do great narration, but he does animals really well.

There's plenty of scope for sentimental tears, but I hope most children will go away with something punchier - a longing to observe the natural world in this much detail, and a new respect for the difference between owning something, and loving it.

Kate Winslet does a syrupy voice-over to this bedtime story, but given what we know of foxes, it's a tough one to swallow.

[W]hile this whimsical story of the burgeoning friendship between a befreckled ten-year-old and a cute critter will doubtless delight young audiences, there's plenty to entertain adults too.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
It's very beautiful, but it's so contrived.
