GRUFFALO, THE DVD (JULIA DONALDSON COLLECTION)

Description

The 20th Anniversary special edition includes a set of five exclusive Gruffalo postcards. The Gruffalo is one of the most loved childrens stories of all time and tells the story of a mouse who is forced to rely on his wits for survival when confronted by three hungry animals. To scare them away he invents an imaginary monster with terrible teeth and terrible claws. But what happens when he comes face to face with his own creation Featuring an all-star voice cast of Helena Bonham Carter, Rob Brydon, Robbie Coltrane, James Corden, John Hurt, and Tom Wilkinson. Also available in the collection of much-loved family films based on the wonderful books written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, are: The Gruffalos Child, Room On The Broom, Stick Man, The Highway Rat and Zog. Review: Grandson loves Gruffalo and Room on a Broom DVD - Entertainment Review: The Gruffalo's Child - Blue Ray edition (Blu does not spell blue, but bluh : ) - I enjoy Julia Donaldson's writing; I think they are national literary treasures; this film sees her, sensitvely, extend the narrative of 'The Gruffalo's Child' to create a quietly told, beautiful storyscape: the look of the film is true to Axel's artwork and there are many lovely little backgrounds details. The soundscape is full of rich tones and U.K. dialects and the music simply sounds fabulous - rounding off a lovely little cartoon. My 4yr old son completely engages with the imagery and narrative; so, 5 stars from us. A 4K cut would be fabulous, though I know there is little chance my tiny voice will be heeded; a HDR version of both The Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child would be well received - after all, there's only so much buffering one can bear!
