BBC unveils Christmas idents with The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse". Radio Times . Retrieved 2022-12-04. The film was directed by Peter Baynton and co-written by Jon Croker, with Jude Coward Nicoll, Tom Hollander, Idris Elba and Gabriel Byrne voicing the four titular characters. Nicoll's casting was a challenge for the creative team, as he was a newcomer to acting and was selected from 300 people who auditioned for the role. He added, "We were looking for a certain fragility and vulnerability in the voice of the boy. We wanted people when they heard the boy's voice to have the instinct to try and take care of him or try and protect him [...] He announces to us right at the start of the film that he's lost and he's looking for a home. We all felt incredibly protective of the boy. And that was the quality we were looking for in the boy's voice: a very soft, very gentle unconfident-sounding voice." Baynton said that "he found this sort of lovely rapport and musical relationship between the voices of Nicoll and Hollander". It felt easy to imagine the duo recording their voices together in a studio, even though both the actors recorded separately due to the pandemic. [7] Animation and design [ edit ] 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”.

when i first saw this title and cover, i said AWWWWW! and then, over the holiday season, so many people were praising this book in print and in person, i knew i needed to get a copy for myself. OR, to get a copy for greg because - fox - and read it before gifting it to him. because i am a monster.Idris Elba voice the Fox, while Tom Hollander is behind the Mole.

Retrieved 30 June 2022. This unforgettable book with the memorable title is a book about friendship, kindness, and self-esteem told in the most special of ways. 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.

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.

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.” What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy. 'Help,' said the horse. 'Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse. 'It's refusing to give up" 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? 😉

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."Apple Original Films’ Academy Award nominee “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” wins BAFTA Film Award for Best British Short Animation Tangcay, Jazz (10 October 2022).
