a nice film.inspired by a classic novel for children. seductive for the innocence and lovely humor and acting. a film who has not ambition to impress but to tell a well known story for large public. adventure, drama, children, small episodes from a special age, challenges and strong values. around so many adaptations, this film has the virtue to have its voice. a voice who is not different, in large aspects, by the movies with same theme after WW but who has the science to redefine the small things in the best manner. a film about love and friendship, nature and family. and that is the important detail who transforms the film in beautiful trip in Alpes, in the inside of a Helvish cottage, near children who seems be perfect choices for theirs roles. so, a real nice film.
