criticism
“An adorable and funny cartoon with an original main character who quickly wins you over with its cuteness. It effortlessly carries the animated film fun, which is also technically and handcrafted, if not too original. "
“A Danish animated film in the best Disney fashion. [...] Flemming Quist Møller not only directed this cartoon, but also wrote the children's book of the same name about the lovable little guy who is looking for friendship and peace. At the same time, the story is a satirical parable on our world. "
