Mini-Review: It's smart, funny and catchy, but most importantly it helps to get the message out there without seeming particularly preachy -- and with a short as politically motivated as this, what more can you really ask for?

Mini-Review: Much better than the original, Henderson's voicework provides a certain sweet innocence to the young Gruffalo that makes the whole thing an enjoyable short with impressive visuals.

Mini-Review: It's a good idea -- a very good idea, all told -- and the CGI is impressive, but it's far too short to allow for much in the way of story: it feels like a preview prologue to a bigger piece rather than a self-contained unit in its own right. Joy gives a good performance that only occasionally nudges the 'pantomime villain' archetype, but Newlands feels forced and stilted. Still, there's definitely a lot of potential for expansion here.

Mini-Review: As a thriller, it's surprisingly effective, but it makes no effort at characterisation whatsoever, and so it comes across feeling relatively stale and lifeless -- a fact not helped by the (thankfully limited) dialogue, which makes the whole thing feel a lot more like a PSA against homophobia than an interesting narrative.

Mini-Review: It's not without its failings -- notably several members of the cast who aren't given enough to do -- but it's well-rounded, relatable and extreme in equal measure, and (most importantly) absolutely hilarious. McCarthy gives a great supporting performance, but ultimately the success of the film comes down to just how likable Wiig and O'Dowd can be.
