    Anyone seen this yet?
    Hope it's good. Am vulpine mad. The foxes were by far my favourite part in Grizzly Man, which I found very interesting.
    It's narrated by Kate Winslet apparently.

    Not seen it, but can't expect it to be good, although you never know.

    Is Grizzly man not a documentry about a guy who is eaten by bears and fox and the child about some child who befriends a CGI fox?

    Forgive me if i'm wrong

    O poo. I understood it to be another documentary style piece. Still might have a look see if it's not too schmaltzy.

    It's a fictional piece, not docu based like March of the Penguins

    I really liked March of the Penguins. Did Arctic Tale even come out?

    Looks rubbish - kind of like a middle-class version of Kes without the originality.

    its sort of in between, its shot like a docu piece, but its told like a fairy tale.

    The trailer has appealed to me the times I have seen it on in cineworld. Will give it a try if its on at a reasonable time.
    fox and the child about some child who befriends a CGI fox?

    Its not CGI.

    i watched it last week,i expected a subpar yet enjoyable disney sorta spiel however it turned out to be wonderful. Minimal dialogue coupled with camera angles made it feel in part like a documentary. I was extremely tense throughout and wouldn't recommend bringing a child to it or maybe i'm just a big wuss.

    4/5 for moi

    Cool, thanks. Think I will give it a go.

    Especially on hearing the fox isn't CGI.
