A Turtle’s Tale is about the journey through life of Sammy the turtle. It’s a movie that gave me a mixture of emotions: sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but overall, moving. The film has a brilliant selection of music, such as “Love Today” by MIKA, and the animation is superb.
The film is about Sammy’s life story: the people he meets, the places he goes and the problems he has to overcome. He makes two trustworthy friends as soon as he hatches: Shelly, the only person who tried to help him into the sea and Ray, the stray turtle he meets on his first day out in the ocean. But he becomes separated from both friends along the way. The question now is whether he will ever see them again?
The film also portrays the environmental problems caused by humans and the problems these cause Sammy as he struggles on his travels, highlighting the harmful influence of human beings on sea creatures.
I really enjoyed A Turtle’s Tale and would recommend it to children aged seven to eleven. I give this film 5 stars!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
