Parents need to know that this extraordinary family film does something that few movies can do: it takes a modern child and places her in the natural world without losing believability. The child's relationship with the fox does border on obsession, and there are moments where she is in peril, but she learns a valuable lesson that will ring a bell with viewers of all ages. There is a scene near the end of the movie that might be shocking and distressing to younger or more sensitive viewers . The movie teaches people that you can have a love for nature but wild animals have to be wild animals ,and that fox's are wonderful animals. As i watched the film I became even more intrigued and the inspiring bravery of the the girl really helps grab viewers attention. Her love for nature is impeccable too.This story shows friendship,trust,love ,and magic. This was a amazing use of 92 minutes.I love the way that the overvoice shows that she learned from her lesson and that she never forgot about her brilliant experience . This movie is the perfect movie for inspiration. Luc Jacquet is a brilliant Director and should be proud! I give this movie 9.9/10.
