The Gruffalo is based on an absolutely charming children's book. A mouse is on a journey to a tree to gather falling nuts. Along the way, he encounters three animals who would like to have him for dinner. Literally. The mouse tricks the fox, the owl and the snake by telling them he can't have supper with them because he is meeting a gruffalo, an animal he makes up on the spot. He describes the gruffalo in a way that scares each one of them away. As nears the end of his journey, he unexpectedly encounters a . . . gruffalo.
The mouse again has to rely on his wits to escape being the gruffalo's dinner. This is my favorite and predict this as tonight's winner for Short Film Animation. Win or lose, do a young child a favor. When The
Gruffalo becomes available, either buy it or rent it and see it with them.
