Sinekatalog’s take
A clay-animated gem of comic timing, with a silent dog, an eccentric inventor and a very suspicious penguin. The detail in every frame is delightful, and the chase finale is a masterclass in escalation. Pure joy for any age.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
