We watched this movie just this weekend, with our three teenagers, who were enthralled. Great for all ages! January 11, 2006

rating: 5 QuoteOne of Roald Dahl's best stories for kidsQuote
Not only is this story one of Dahl's best for kids, this video has great actors like Jeremy Irons in it. Not your usual kids' video, this is a story for all the family to enjoy. I hope someone makes a dvd copy of it soon!! May 27, 2005

This is one of the most delightful of the many adaptations of Roald Dahl stories. It stars Jeremy Irons, with his own son Samuel playing his film son, and Samuuel's grandfather Cyril Cusack also in the film.

The story is about poaching; although the original book suggests whole hearted approval for this, the film shifts the emphasis more to a general conservation theme, and in so doing, really improves on the book.

Beautifully filmed and superbly acted, this one is a treat. It is criminal that it is not available on DVD. August 13, 2003
