"Tiny Giants 3D" is a 44-minute documentary from 2014, so two years old the day I write it, and it can still be defined as a short film. The director and writer here is Mark Brownlow and he made this film together with his regular helper, Emmy nominee Michael Gunton. Maybe you wonder why I used the " in the title of my review and the explanation is that this is a very fictitious little tale of a chipmunk and a small mouse. You will learn nothing new probably if you have seen animal documentaries in the past, but that's not a problem at all as this one may lack in terms of how informative it is, but it does deliver from the story-telling perspective and also absolutely in terms of the visual side. It is another great British production by BBC and they have certainly delivered in recent years in terms of animal and nature documentaries. The narrator is Stephen Fry and I am a great fan of him which got me even more curious about this one. I believe this is also a pretty good watch for young audiences as they are the ones who will probably still learn a bit from it. And it's not too serious or dramatic for them as our two heroes always make it out alive and they even fight a very brave fight against a scorpion (the villain) at one point. I enjoyed the watch, but I may be a bit biased because of how much I like Fry and animal documentaries and because of how undeniably cute the two animals in the main roles are. But one cannot deny that this is a creative achievement from several genre directions. Absolutely worth seeing and it works perfect with this brief run time.
