GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Amanda Evans This is such a cute short! Falcor the ferret is adorable, and for ferret lovers, it's great to have a movie that is centred around a ferret. Alison Parker did a great job with this movie. I only wish this wasn't a "short" and was a full-length! It's a very heartwarming story, and I'm happy it shows ferrets in their true light. Some people have said it isn't realistic, well, I think it's because it's a short, not a feature-length, so it doesn't have time to dive deep into the history or have multi-dimensional characters. Like the description says, it's about a boy trying to deal with the death of his mother, and Ms. Parker manages to get the emotion of the loss of a loved one across, while keeping the story light enough for a short film. If you like ferrets, or you have kids who like animals, get this movie, you and the kids will enjoy watching Falcor's (Jasper) tricks and silly antics that ferrets are known for.

monstaferret I loved this movie and have watched it 3 times already! Ferrets make great companion pets and it makes a nice change to see them portrayed in a positive light. All too often they are seen as biter, smelly animals when in fact they are intelligent loving little creatures. The acting was good throughout and the subject matter of the death of a parent was handled well with much compassion. It also shows well how difficult parents can find life when their wife/husband passes away. I would like to thank all of the actors and crew for helping make this such a special movie. A special thanks to Alison Parker and all of the wonderful people who donated to make this movie possible.

Kathy Balman This is a wonderful family movie and teaches valuable lessons in compassion, friendship, fighting, family and ferrets. The film is not rated but I can tell you there is no foul language, nudity or violence. It is very safe for all ages! The film is 25 min 14 sec long great for short attention spans. There are also a few special features like: Behind the Scenes: The Making of Jake and Jasper, Funder's Pets Photo Montage (the kids loved this), Official Trailer and Fundraising Promo Video. And if you do some searching and hit the #1 on your remote you can even some hidden goodies like a blooper reel. I love the tag line for the movie which is, "sometimes all you need is a little friendship." And I loved the cinematic techniques used throughout the film. One of my favorite parts was the meadow scene with the white horse (Gwyn mentions it in here review). I also thought the acting was very well done and Jesse (played by Nina Hagerty) did such a great job with the scene where she gives Jasper to Jake (totally brought tears to my eyes). Both kids loved how Jasper (played by Falcor) looks just like our Jester. But they were disappointed when they tried to get Jester to do tricks like Falcor did in the movie, like fetching, rolling over and begging.Like Gwyn mentioned, Jake played by Connor Stanhope is homeschooled. I asked Connor on his Facebook page what he liked most about homeschooling and what his favorite subject was. He replied "Hi :) I think one of the things I like best is being able to work at my own pace. I also like being able to choose some of my own things to learn. My favorite subject is science." Being a homeschool family we love to support movies that feature homeschooled actors.We highly recommend this movie to ferret, nature, animal, family, homeschool, short film movie lovers everywhere.If you would like to watch a video review here is the link http://youtu.be/xBPs2Vk3Lrc

karen-284-537646 The movie was very enjoyable as a mum I shed genuine tears for the young Jake (Connor) I felt his pain through his character and whilst understanding his father's pain I really did want to give 'dad' a severe talking to. Big sis whilst singing to Jake brought the mum out in her, a very emotional movie from the human side. The star was always gonna be Jasper (Falcor)he is now the ambassador for ferret ownership worldwide. His antics had me laughing through my Jake induced tears. Need another movie showing step by step how Jasper (Falcor) was trained. What also made this movie special was involving pet and in particular ferrets to help finance the movie. For most of the contributors like me it is the first time we have done anything like this, what a pleasure to be able to say I helped make this wonderful movie a reality. I only have one negative to report and that is lack of sub titles. I rely on subtitles to help me follow a movie etc. Lack of subtitles means my husband has to tell me what is being said. Although visually I was so impressed with Jake (Connor) that I needed less help than normal :-)
