It's very entertaining to find yourself and people you know living on the farm as cows, sheep, rabbits and as a lama(? the south American animal that spits on Tintins captain Haddock..?) The series makes several points- how are we, and how do we cope with our love life and social surroundings, issues are quite up-to-date, and apparently pretty universal, that is, if you are living in the western world... Here in Sweden it is broadcasted during the kid's TV hour. I think it's clearly for the adults, the most of the funny stuff is on the level of recognizing patterns of the real life and people. It is like "Shrek", where the details that entertain adults have taken over. And those details are very funny. The musical score is great, worldish Balkan-swing, like any Kusturica soundtrack. Yes, almost forgot, one of these "up-to-date-issues" is the multi national world we are a part of, some of the farm animals being foreigners, the issue is there, politically correct but hardly boring. The Swedish voices belong to some well known actors and work really fine too.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
