The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse (2022)

This beautifully animated movie is taken from a children's picture book, and the animated characters imintate the illustrated ones from the book. A boy, a mole, a fox, and a horse share a series of heartfelt and profound conversations about the meaning of life, universal truths and friendship. The story is peacefully told, and explores our innermost feelings with delicate sensitivity and candor. All four characters represent different parts of the same person: the quiet and endlessly inquisitive boy, the mole who’s enthusiastic but a bit greedy, the fox who’s been hurt so is withdrawn from life, slow to trust but wants to be part of things, and the horse who’s the wisest bit, the deepest part of you, the soul. Together they attempt to make their way in life.
