    Very charming imaginative movie. It was worth it for me just for the adorable personification of all the animal characters ( The scene when the bear hugs the beaver, the beaver’s reaction is priceless) I love the animation, beautiful scenery and colours; the voices were perfect (the mama and baby opossums adorable).  AND…something which I don’t always notice, the music.

The adaptation, details of the scenes whether the close ups of the hands, the theatre scenes, ( I love the theatre scenes),  the chase scenes,  all of it, such complexity in its ‘classic-asim ’ of the thriller genre, to this day on par with the best thrillers innocent man on the run etc.  it defined all the elements required for the best in that genre and of course established all the classic Hitchcockian  elements. I also love Robert Donat.
