violence and a disheartening message
Contains very violent scene inappropriate for young children. A young girl tries to engage the natural world but ultimately endangers herself and the animals and landscape she cares about. Beautiful scenery, but very disappointing, disheartening message for a film directly towards children.

A wonderful movie with a few fast forward scenes
There are a few spots in the movie that I fast forward (the part where she gets lost in the cave and sleeps outside, and the part where the wolves surround the fox) but I feel like this movie is amazing. I wish it didn't have a narrator. It would have been great just observing all of this. I think the girl in the movie is a great role model as she is in nature and I love that it is not animated!

My kids went to bed crying
The nature scenes are pretty but my kids 5, 7, 10 years were in tears at the end. The end is too abrupt and sad with no attempt to ease the transition for the child audience that it's obviously intended for. Don't show it at night; your kids will go to bed crying.

Loved the movie!!
From Kaela, 6 years old: I thought it was really really good. Very good actor. The baby foxes were so cute. I loved that girl! She was a really good actress. From Skye, 4 years old: I loved the baby foxes.

Good themes, better for older viewers
warning - this review tells about the ending we were devasted by the ending and the way the message was portrayed - a little harsh for our 6 year old I think the message of over obsessive friendship couldve been shown with the fox escaping instead of dying in a visually bloody death.

Excellent Family film but have a box of tissues with you
This was an excellent movie! A wonderful family film for all ages but the ending is pretty sad and very abrubt, Bottom line: Don't be surprised if your young movie viewer is in tears, the fox doesn't die but it's clear that the girl in the movie will never see the fox again and that's explained in a pretty sad way so I would say that it's age appopriate for kids ages kids ages 8+ and then again only for kids who aren't easily upset by stuff like this.
