I just borrowed the video from the local library. Lovely scenery and close ups of the animals, this is good I thought.

Well, I was appalled towards the end and I can't see that it is remotely suitable for children to watch. There was some very dangerous behaviour shown and what I considered cruelty to an animal.

I know it was a drama but whereever were the parents in the story. So so stupid.

Has anyone else seen it? I think there was some talk about it when first released.

Think it was actually U but I have given it back to the library now. I suppose that is my complaint about it, the classification.

The girl actually captures the vixen and shuts her into her bedroom which is inappropriate for a wild animal. I was pleased to see that lost of her trinkets got broken but there was worse to come.... She also puts a makeshift collar on the fox and is shown jumping over deepwater from a height. Not an adult to be seen. I mustn't say too much in case folk want to watch it.
