Beautifully animated, this is a short - just 27 minutes - fun-packed adventure that can be enjoyed by the whole family. As well as courage, perseverance, curiosity, and teamwork, the film celebrates friendship, and manages to do so without any of the messaging feeling forced. These perilous situations are short-lived and allow the film's positive messages to come to the surface. With the clock ticking, the snail is given the chance to be the hero, as it shows courage and perseverance in going to get help. The biggest moment of jeopardy comes when the whale finds itself beached on the shore. There are occasional moments of threat as the pair's adventure includes an encounter with sharks, while the snail is constantly worried about being eaten by seagulls. The snail, who is voiced by Oscar-winner Sally Hawkins, is offered the chance to realize its dreams of seeing the world, when a kindly humpback whale ( Rob Brydon) lets the snail board its tail. Parents need to know that The Snail and the Whale is a heartening adaptation from a book by Julia Donaldson ( The Gruffalo, Zog) with tons of positive messages.
