Reviews for The Velveteen Rabbit
The live-action cast may be unknowns, but they're effective enough; the 2-D (drawn and digital) animation is winning; and the story will engross any 8-and-younger with the patience to watch it.
A low-key charmer that's bound to enchant small children and amuse their parents during many hours of repeat viewings.
While it isn't exactly a classic, it expresses the power of hope in the imaginary world and the importance of communicating our love for one another in the real world.
These days, even employing the traditional, 2-D cel style of animation seems like a quaint notion.
Rabbit has a full, gushing heart it wants to share with the audience, and released in the wake of a thousand obnoxious fart-happy distractions, its inherent gentleness and ability to remain inspired by kindness is wholeheartedly welcome.
