As a ferret owner since 1994, I was looking forward to seeing a film showing ferrets in a positive light. I wasn't disappointed! It was a lovely, gentle film about Jake, the boy, and Jasper, his ferret. Like some of the other reviewers, I cried both sad and happy tears and am looking forward to showing the DVD to my grandkids.
The only thing I wish had been included was a summary showing both the pros AND cons about ferrets. Not all ferrets are as clever as Falcor and it worries me that non-ferret people might think they are all like that. They'll get one, thinking they can train it like a dog, and then when they find their ferret won't fetch stuff or roll over or do other tricks, they'll get fed up and hand the poor animal in to a shelter.
That's the only criticism I have. Other than that I give a big High Five to Alison and everyone else involved - thank you for making such a super movie showing what absolutely wonderful and loving pets ferrets make :D
