The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

"Very reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh but man do they beat your head with the message. One of the few times where it would be better if some of the dialogue was cut. 🦊 was best character because he’s too cool to talk. "

"So beautiful, a moving illustration flowing like water with simple, transcendent messages leaves me imagining what a better person I would have been had I absorbed these messages as a child and what a better world we would be in now if all of us had..."

"I have LOVED Charlie Mackesy’s work for so long and this is such a tender story filled with so much wisdom throughout. Wonderful to see his book in this short animated film. I see myself in all the characters… reminding us the goodness in all, kindness trumps all and not all is what it seems. "

"Ohhhhh my heart! Watched this half-hour short film with my son tonight (on Apple+) and I criiied! This is the sweetest, warming, wholesome little movie i’ve ever seen! Good messages! Definitely a perfect watch before bed! 10/10 ⭐️"

"Watched this after its Oscar win. Love the animation. Love the Mole. Love the Fox. It's essentially, 'Platitudes: The Movie' but works in a children's storybook sort of way with a heartwarming message. P.S. Stick around for the credits."

"Today, I read the book and watched this short film on Apple TV afterwards. I enjoyed this movie. I really liked the message of the movie and the book. When I was watching this movie, I cried a few times. I found the book and movie to be very heartwarming and moving. "

"sweetest thing i have ever seen. everyone deserves to hear these beautiful words. i adore everyone involved in making this adorable masterpiece. "

"Wonderful little story that tugs on the heartstrings. The ink art style is also beautifully suited to bring the story to life."

"Damn I wish friends were real"

"Like a goodnight kiss"
