Last night I was in the mood to watch something with the kids, so I thought I would make it our Family Movie Night. When it comes to kid’s movies, I tend to be picky because I like to watch movies that keep my interest. I also prefer the movies not to be “too long” I was going to look for something on cable but remembered that I had a copy of the movie The Gruffalo in my room to review. I grabbed the DVD, called the kids to the living room and all sat together on the couches to watch the movie that I was holding onto, for this special occasion.
The cover of this movie is what caught my attention. I would have to say that the Gruffalo is cute, but in a “not really” way. This is a movie is based on the bestselling children’s picture book written by Julia Donaldson that tells the magical tale of this little cute mouse that takes a walk through the woods in search of a nut. As the mouse walks through the woods, he counters three animals that want to eat him. He then has to make up a story to each one of them to scare them into not eating him. He makes up a story about a mean monster called a ‘Gruffalo”. He then comes face to face with the monster and has to again talk his way out of getting eaten.
This is a cute story and appropriate for all. The Gruffalo will be available for purchase on DVD on August 16, 2011. Also, be sure to stop by The Gruffalo Facebook Page for more info on this great movie!
