The low score on IMDb and the negative reviews for this lovely short movie, based on a book published by a British author, in Britain, in 1968 is everything that is wrong with modern society and the Internet today.
The book is a short story, and the film adaption a faithful tribute to its author who passed away the same year the film was released and is a hugely celebrated children's writer.
The story itself is a firm favourite from my childhood and my children's - my daughter choosing to dress up in a home made tiger costume for the annual World Book Day celebration at school when she was 5 years old.
The film is delightful, funny and only half an hour to sit down and enjoy something simple. I didn't even watch it with children - I just enjoyed it for what it is.
