Product Information

It tries to give important, profound lessons about good and bad, struggling with emotional problems, self reflection, and many other topics in a minimalistic way. With some rudimentary drawings and many Buddha zen Yoda wise master style dialogues, scenes, and conclusions, it condenses essential philosophical, ethical, and psychological questions, issues, and problems to a level easy to understand for younger audiences. if i treat it like a book written in a foreign language, it's great - i can enjoy the pictures, and i can recognize the individual words even though the messages mean nothing to me. Is your glass half empty or half full?" asked the mole. "I think I'm grateful to have a glass," said the boy. Special thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for giving me extra support towards my passion for reading and reviewing! I wish I could dislike it, because I have a very cold and mean soul and it would be very on brand for me to hate something that Chris Evans, Captain America himself, called the most beautiful book/Christmas gift possible and the marketing copy calls “hope in uncertain times.”

Apple Original Films’ Academy Award nominee “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” wins BAFTA Film Award for Best British Short Animation We've had different forms of hardness, you know, whether it's pandemic and isolation or whether it's economic I think everyone's just feeling exhausted. It seems to me that if we've ever needed kindness, we need it now. And I don't think there's any human on Earth who couldn't use a bit more kindness or comfort or hope or a healing. It was lovely to read from people's messages during the pandemic about the book and I hope that film can do something similar in this time."Nordyke, Kimberly (12 March 2023).

Okay, occasionally, but in the same way as The Beatles "All You Need is Love" is. Mmmm, that comparison feels so cozy.A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books: I bought this for my little darling's birthday in July, and she tells me at the grand old age of 8, it is her “..favourite book in the world ever”. My brother then informs me that this precious little one brought the book to school so she could read to the class as part of the Christmas treat's they were allowed. Not to miss out on this moment I asked her to read to me too over the Christmas holidays, and this fabulous experience goes down as one of my most special moments in the “world - ever”. This is the kind of book that you read in 20 minutes and then immediately hand to someone else, who then wants to lend your copy to someone but can’t because they aren’t a monster and instead buys 10 copies to keep on hand as gifts that seem personal but really aren’t.

Breathing life into the book’s protagonists is an award-winning cast of actors including Tom Hollander as ‘the mole’, Idris Elba OBE as ‘the fox’, Gabriel Byrne as ‘the horse’ and newcomer Jude Coward Nicoll as ‘the boy’. This isn't directly related to the book itself but the author is a self-proclaimed Evangelist who has recently found Jesus Christ after being an atheist all his life. He has been speaking publicly about this before he published his book and has been previously described as the most famous evangelist in the UK. It does tie in with the very abstract clichés found in the book itself. I'm cynical about writers who talk about love and kindness and righteousness from the perspective of religion. We should not be teaching children that love and kindness stem from an omniscient being who made us in his image but simply because it's the right thing to do for the greater good, for a better, richer, greener planet. Idris says: "Charlie had a very clear vision in his mind of how each of the characters sounded. All very distinct voices that each captured the essence of its character. It was a really tight team, and we were doing this throughout the pandemic remember, so it was very much a case of all getting our heads together when we could and slowly bringing the fox to life – creating his spirit through his, maybe few but, thought-provoking words.” The story is so simple, beautiful, and adorned with such gorgeous phraseology and meaningful words that will blow your mind for its simplicity and beauty. The wonderful illustrations are a feast for the eyes and match the dialogue between these 4 adorable characters - perfectly. Best to list some of my favourite quotes that add so much to the meaning of life. I'm sure you will have a list too....a b Rosen, Christopher (5 December 2022).

Retrieved 23 December 2022. i am a monster. my dreams aren't coming true, my ship's not coming in, 'at least i have my health' doesn't apply, i'm growing old and bitter, and platitudes really only work for people with vanilla froyo problems. Idris says: “The fox is an outsider, somewhat untrusting of the world and takes his time to open up to the group and be vulnerable. I definitely connected with the fox on a level, and it was amazing to see the character’s journey throughout the story. I think there’s a part in all of us that feels like the fox. That’s also the beauty of Charlie’s work, we see ourselves in each of the characters and can relate to their journeys.”

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse isn’t as much a story as it is a book of advice, encouragement, and lessons accompanied by whimsical hand-drawn illustrations. The advice and lessons are beautiful and meaningful, and the entire book is a genuinely heartfelt experience. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' Named B&N Book of the Year". Publishers Weekly.

This year’s win for “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” follows Apple Original Films’ BAFTA Award wins in 2022 for “CODA,” including Best Adapted Screenplay by Siân Heder and Best Supporting Actor Troy Kotsur, and nominations for Best Actress Emilia Jones in “CODA,” Best Actor Mahershala Ali in “Swan Song” and Best Cinematography for “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” Apple was recognised in 2021 with nominations for Best Animated Film for “Wolfwalkers,” in addition to Best Special Visual Effects and Sound for “Greyhound.” I, for instance, am as dark as it´s possible and that´s no swagger pimp stuff, just how I roll. But I still believe that a kind of seemingly naive and unrealistic approach, of making kids better future adults, creates a profound difference to somewhen build utopias. Of course, critics can say that the idealized version of reality will let kids hit the ground even harder, but I think thatThe Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse takes audiences of all ages on an extraordinary, poignant and heartfelt journey this festive season, as the deeply resonating story follows the unlikely friendship of a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse as they journey together in the boy’s search for home. For me though it is not a 5 star which is the average rating I think at Goodreads, why, because it is a bit a bit of supersweet cuteness and morality overkill. 😊 This is probably because I’m used to read dark books…. So maybe I am not the target group for this book? 😉 It is impossible not to like this book. It’s entirely made up of charming illustrations and great handwriting and beautiful sentences and jokes about cake. It gives you zero chance to dislike it. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse".
