Lost and Found


A young boy’s life is forever changed when he answers his door one day to find a penguin on the doorstep. Assuming the flightless bird is lost, the boy decides he must take the penguin back home. There’s a wonderful charm in the way the boy simply decides that taking the penguin home is the right thing to do, a charm that fills every frame of this of delightful animated tale. And before you snub your nose at the idea of watching an animated family film like this, take a deep breath and get over yourself because a great story is a great story, no matter what medium is used to tell it. And this is a great story, form the dazzling animation to the lovable narration from Jim Broadbent. You don’t need to think twice: get it.
