Jake and Jasper: A Ferret Tale (2011)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

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.

I LOVE this film! I was amazed at how much emotion can be brought to a short film.I cried sad tears and happy tears!This is for animals lovers of all kinds especially ferret lovers! It's great to finally see a positive/real portrayal of a ferret in a movie(great job Falcor!) It's obvious that an animal lover made this film and she did a great job. This is a movie the whole family can watch and enjoy together (and the fuzzies!) I intend to watch this over and over again! I would love to see a full length version of this get made.2 thumbs up from this ferret lover! and 20 paws up from the fuzzies!

I have been waiting for this film for a long time, at last a film about a ferret. I am a little albino ferret, and my mummy is helping to write this review. When I first saw the forerunner with all the cardboard animals, I knew that I had to help, so I saved up my pennies and became a funder. How pleased I am that I did this, as Alison has done us proud with this film. Although it is only about half an hour long, it is still filled with love and compassion, and shows just how much we little ferrets can help people in times of need. Now I am hoping that a full length film will be made, as I am waiting to see what happens to the family now they have just found each other again, and little Jasper is now included as a valued member. A good family film, and a must for ferret lovers!!!

Excellent story about the love and friendship that exists between a young boy & his ferret. A must see for all ferret folk! 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. It also shows that when you really need them, friends are all around you, in many shapes & sizes. It's wonderful to see ferrets portrayed in film. We need more great movies like this one. For fuzzy lovers everywhere, it shows how a ferret can steal your heart even when its breaking and help it mend. Family doesn't just mean human relatives. For true animal lovers, pets are family too!
