Maybe this kind of story is just what we all need on the second to last day of the year - to remind ourselves why we're here and who we truly are.

The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse is a sweet, touching story of lost souls who found each other and together they search for home. This little cartoon speaks with quotes almost exclusively and every single phrase and every word that comes out of the mouths of the four characters is something to think about.

Really, what is love? What is home? What is the meaning of it all and what does it take to be a human being? Those are only a handful of questions you'd definitely get answers to by the end of this half hour masterpiece. I know for sure that home is where the heart is, it's not the place, it's not even something material - it's the way you feel and the people around you who make you feel it.

The animation style is uncanny and even though it may not be a perfect 3D computer generated picture it serves the purpose of the movie splendidly - all those shapes and contours don't have to be perfect, they just have to be authentic and real, and that's what matters. The voice actors also have done a great job shaping the characters and making them real for us too.

If you ever ask me, who do I want to become when I grow up (or in my case, grow old) I would certainly answer: kind.
