My grand daughter watched it with me on Boxing Day and absolutely loved it. I would love to get a copy of it for her for her birthday. Any idea where I can get one from>

Watch this on the replay on Channel 4, my 7 year old caught it as it finished and I thought he must’ve confused it with something else. The book is a firm family favourite, as are all the Oliver Jeffers stories. My 18 month old, 7 year old and 3 year old nephew were spellbound by the animation. As were the 6 adults in the room!. Incredibly beautiful as a stand alone piece. Wonderful imagery and excellent interpretation of the book.

Have to say, I LOVED the inclusion of the infamous rubber ducks, nice touch.

I happened to catch this while wrapping presents and really really enjoyed it. everything was done right. the waves of the sea were amazing, no idea how they did that and i thought emotion in the boy and penguin were nice too.

looking forward to Boxing day so i cant watch it again with the family

I happened to have read this picture book at a relative’s house eariler in the year, without knowing that, at the same time, one of my favourite studios around today were making an animation of it.

My initial thoughts after seeing the special: I want to kill the narrator. I want to kill him SO MUCH. All the additional visual information which needed to be added to expand the story to a half-hour slot, as well as being able to animate how one thing leads to another, meant that the text was no longer needed – let alone an expanded version of it which obliterated the surprise ending by making it clear what was going to happen again and again throughout the story. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, of course; the overall style other other than that is faultless. I particularly liked the penguin’s fidgeting; they’ve captured the movement of children, or a type of them, so well… And then projected it onto a penguin, and made it look completely natural. :)
