The Ugly Duckling and Me is a great treat

The Ugly Duckling and Me

Directors: Michael Hegner/Karsten Kiilbrech

Cast (Voices): Morgan Jones, Aileen Mythen, J. Drew Douglas, Justin Gregg

Cert: G

An animated twist on the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale about not making hasty decisions about people and beauty being in the eye of the beholder … and done with lashings of charm, terrific drawing, clever directing and snappy dialogue.

Here we find Ratso taking off to find fame and fortune in a carnival, accompanied by a worm and a duckling who isn't exactly eye-catching.

They have lots of mad adventures - rats and worms are like that, apparently - and it's all a great treat.

Star Rating: 4/5
