The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is a faithful adaptation of Charlie Mackesy’s best-selling book, and according to Apple boss Tim Cook it “tells an enduring story about the meaning of kindness, acceptance and hope.”
Is The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse worth streaming?
Yes. It’s currently sitting with an 86% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and while not everybody succumbed to its charms – The Spectator accused it of being nakedly desperate to be a Christmas classic in the mould of The Snowman and the Telegraph felt it was “sickly” – most reviewers fell in love with its gorgeous, watercolour-style visuals, its warmth and its joy.
Collider gave it four and a half stars out of five, calling it a “deep and stunning work of art”, while The Independent called it “beautiful” and awarded the full five. “This tale of love and hope is half an hour of unmitigated joy,” Megan Graye writes, adding that “this 30-minute story will leave you feeling hopeful and probably a little teary. Emerging from it unaffected is just about impossible.”
