mjharrison247 A wonderfully crafted story of the relationship between a small girl and a fox. Watched the English version narrated by Kate winslet. Thoroughly enchanting. Opens to beautiful scenery and plenty of wildlife to rival the best of nature documentaries. However the film wanes a little as it ventures further into the realms of storytelling. It is not all sweetness and light and has plenty of edge of your seat moments to keep you gripped. My three year old daughter was completely engrossed and mostly quiet for the entire movie,watching it from beginning to end in a single sitting,a first in our house. I am sure she would give it a ten and will doubtlessly be watching it many times over. It probably deserves a higher score on the visuals and is up there as one of the better kids movies,better than the usual mundane animated nonsense Disney and Pixar churn out every two minutes. Makes you want to pack it all in and move to the wilderness.

Toby Jones I believe this film just never started, because the fox and the child met each other day after day, week after week and they did things and wolves came into the equation and a bit of Adventure. Another thing is her Mom and Dad never show up or anything and you wouldn't be allowed outside nearly everyday, of course they'd ask you "What did you do today?" I'm not trying to be offensive to Pathe!, but as this isn't a very big film companies movie, I don't think it is advertised as much, but I got it from Matalan, and hadn't heard about it before. On the good side of the film, it is lovely how the girl meets the fox and they develop a friendship, I think that is lovely ! Very sad as well, I have to admit I did shed a few tears, as the Fox, which she names Lily, nearly dies, but I sort of new that she wouldn't. I give this movie 3 out of 10, because of the points in there that say the film isn't amazing.

richard-1787 I first saw this movie in a theater in France a year or so ago. It came and went with little fanfare, but I enjoyed it for the beauty of the landscape photography and the fascinating wildlife footage. (The story, while nice, is really incidental. If you actually thought about it, there is no way most of what happens could happen in real life.) I just saw it again tonight, here in the States, on DVD. Again, I gather it has very limited distribution. Blockbusters only had one copy of it, and I don't recall it ever playing in the art houses in Cleveland.Seen on my TV, the photography is not as breathtaking, though it is still very beautiful. The wildlife footage is still fascinating. The story of the relationship between the 10-year old child and the fox is even less convincing the second time around, when you know where it's headed.Still, as I said, the story is incidental. It's a beautiful film to watch, and if you like wildlife footage, you should find this fascinating.--------------------------I saw this movie again tonight, almost a decade after I first saw it in the theater. I still find it to be an often astoundingly beautiful film visually. The views of the animals and the landscape are just breathtaking. Not as breathtaking as in a theater, but still a joy to behold.The child I still find aggravating. The music is good, though, and Kate Winslet does a wonderful job of reading the English narration, so I wouldn't turn off the sound.I would try to ignore the child, though. While she is sometimes beautifully photographed, her character is the only disagreeable spot in this otherwise so very beautiful movie.This would definitely be a good movie for children, by the way. It teaches a lesson that all humans should learn: wild animals are just that. No matter how cute they are, they need to stay in nature, and cannot be turned into pets.

pdelamore There's perhaps a special reason why The Fox and the Child hit a special note in my heart. Having just said goodbye to my new fiancée - of oh...one day - for an unknown period of time, I was a bit overwhelmed with varying emotions and was suffering the fallout from putting on the brave face she needed to see.I watched a few movies and TV shows, but my interest darted from what I was leaving behind to what is out there and what I haven't seen. For that, I have this movie to thank.Being a nature lover and having heard about the film beforehand, I was sure I was going to like it anyway. But I didn't just like it, I loved it.The technical mastery is astounding. How did they do it? How did they capture the animals in the way they did?? It's just wonderful.The moral of the tale is a good one and while the ending is oh so French and ambiguous, it's a happy/sad one. Again, it caught me a bit off-guard. As a man who usually keeps his emotions to himself, the ending was tough going while on a plane full of people I would be seeing for the next 15 or so hours! Perhaps it's because the ending made me think back to what I left.But for those few hours on the plane, I was happy to see something new and original. And that's life. Sure, there are those things you love and feel comfortable around...but the great outdoors holds many a mystery. So the next time I see something out of the ordinary while out in the open; I'm going to explore it, observe it and embrace it. That's precisely what happens in this movie and that's precisely what you should do with this darn good movie/nature doc too. 8/10 P.S. It's two months on from the plane journey. We still don't know when we'll see each other again, but we will.
