This is a story not unlike Romeo and Juliet - two families (or in this case species) despising each other, only to be brought together by two star-crossed lovers... But unlike Shakespeare's material, The Smeds and the Smoos is a cheerful, heartwarming story that children and adults alike will undoubtedly love.
Julia Donaldson's clever words have once again been brought to life with this humorous animation, delivering what the book (whilst lovely) cannot, with subtle quirks and nuances that might be lost on the younger viewer, but give a more grown up edge for the older watcher to enjoy.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable cartoon, have already watched it 5 times since its release two days ago (at my 3 year old's request!) and it's been an absolute pleasure every time.
