Chonchon, le plus mignon des cochons

Babs gets a pig from her long gone granddad but her mother is not happy about it so Babs decided to get the pig to a puppy class.

I went to this movie as an adult because it's a beautifully made stop motion animation. Lighting is gorgeous as well. The story was moving too, I teared up during the puppy course and some scenes were really funny. The final scene reminded me of Wallace and Gromit.

Although I'm vegan, I'm afraid the overall message (don't eat animals) is brought a little too blunt and might put off some parents. Still the movie is a wonderful heartwarming story that tries to make the world a better place.

All essential male characters are bad or a unuseful loser.

The story and voice acting is good. The animation and level of detail is superb.

Also it's nice to see a setting in Holland. Most jokes are flat and cliche though.

For children it's a very nice film.

This is a beautifully made production that proves a window into the lives of a quintessentially Dutch family living in a small village. The characters are developed exceptionally well during the film, and you can't help but feel enchanted by the going's on. I watched it in the original Dutch language; I hope that it becomes available on other languages since it is simply too good not to be shared more widely.

In 72 minutes the film successfully mixes love, anger, hope, joy adventure and competitiveness together as the story unfolds.

It seems Unfair to compare it to Aardman productions - it sets out to be different and is much better.

Suitable for kids of all ages, it is the best film I've seen this year.

This is done really well. The animation is at Aardman level, good voice acting and a very enjoyable story. Smiles all around. Some very mild suspense for a few moments, suitable for the youngest audience.

The sets hit the mark, being Dutch myself I found them totally relatable because of the attention to detail. The kids enjoyed the cinematic experience too. I sincerely hope this gets picked up internationally, it deserves it.

Very well animated with great performances, this is an engaging story with appealing characters. There were touches of humour and heart, and a warm friendship between the two child characters. And of course, the pig is very cute. It was good to watch a Dutch language film - it's still possible to tune into and follow the story even if subtitles are not your thing. This particular stop-motion style of animation was refreshing to see, especially in a world increasingly saturated with poor CGI and AI - seeing something made by hand adds an extra life to the characters in this story. As an adult I really enjoyed watching this film, and I think it would appeal to children too.
