  Now winter time is a distinctly dangerous time to be a stick. Especially if you are out in the forest minding your own business and encountering people and animals that can find all sorts of uses for you. You can get covered in dogs saliva, or chucked into the river to play a game devised by that yellow bear that liked the honey. You can be set fire to, used as a weave for a bird's nest or even swept out to sea. Indeed, were it not for a complete stroke of luck it might well be that Mrs. Stick and the children three might never again their father see. I enjoyed this colourful animation as we follow the escapades of a dad who epitomises all that I can think to deter one from ever being daft enough to be a jogger! There's loads of wildlife and scenarios that allow the artists to mix the flora and the fauna colourfully and keep the story skipping along entertainingly, with even the slightest hint of (Christmas) jeopardy, as we pass half an hour accompanied by a jolly score and lots of snow. Good fun.Read more
