Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
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.
Kevin Farlee This is a really great movie with a number of very positive messages. There is a core theme of family values where through trials, the importance of supporting each other comes through. There is a real-life challenge to the family, which they have to work their way through. This is where Jasper comes through, pulling them all together. Having Jasper the ferret as a focus both works for the film as well as exposes the ferret as a wonderful companion and comfort for Jake.The entire cast works together as a great ensemble. Production values are quite good as well. All in all a wonderful experience. My only disappointment was that it is too short. It really needs to be extended into a full feature film so the rest of the story can be told!
fallonferts I have been watching this film's progress for a long time, at last a good film about a ferret. Hope someday to see a full length version-- love love love this movie.A must see for all ferret folk and non-ferret people as well-- in fact! If you're an animal lover, watch this movie! Those who say animals can't love are so wrong. Jake & Jasper shows the loving bond between animal & human. My first ferret was brought into our home to help with my daughters depression-- he saved her life and sanity and made a confirmed FERRET lover.I loved Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale!!! I thought Connor Stanhope and Falcor (the ferret) I was left wanting MORE though.
morvette I LOVE this ! What a tale, what a story, what Drama !! What acting!! What a Great Director ! The Producers !! The ferret community really came together to get behind Alison Parker's vision of this "Ferret Tale". Nina Haggerty is a shining star and Connor Stanhope is amazing in the role of Jake. Falcor & Frisco the ferrets that played Jasper are so sweet and lovable you just want to reach into the screen and give them a hug <3 The video is also filled with extras such as a section where the funders of the film could feature their pets :-) What a great idea ! Also there are features that let the viewer watch the making of the film .. I hope a film company is smart enough to pick this up for a feature family film. Alison Parker did a great job from start to finish and I say " BRAVO" ..." ENCORE " ! :-)
