Originally in French but dubbed into English, the five-minute shows featured a motley crew of animals and Zebedee, a jack-in-the-box with facial hair to rival Salvador Dali's, doing not a lot.

The less than imaginative story may not be groundbreaking and the animation is nothing different, but hey, it's for children^ And they'll love this sweet tale and its bizarre collection of characters though adults might find it slow going. ——————————————————————————————————4/6—— Latest movie reviews 313 PADDY POWER- FREE £25/e25 BET ON BIG BRO WINNER!
