The Magic Ferret

"The Magic Ferret" is a purely magical experience!! It is an absolute joy to meet six-year-old Sam and his companion Booger, an adorable little boy and his precious pet ferret who together, yearn to find a "forever home." Jacob Tremblay is a natural as Sam and Falcor the ferret nails the part of Booger. In an attempt to impress prospective adoptive parents, Sam transforms himself into the "Great Sambini" with Booger as his assistant. Beverley Elliot is wonderful as the compassionate and maternal Mrs. Rassenti. Fred Ewanuick and Lisa Durupt as Mr. & Mrs. Parker are fabulous as well! This is a feel-good film that is suitable for all ages and will give you warm fuzzies all over (and I don't just mean the ferret)! Kudos to Director Alison Parker on bringing a bit of magic into our lives!

Director Alison Parker's newest short film endeavor "The Magic Ferret" takes us all back to our childhoods filled with both wonder and question. There is a little bit of Sam in all of us in his longing for a "forever home" acceptance and love. Booger (Falcor the ferret) reminds me so much of my own ferret, Gabriel, in his universal appeal to everyone, even non ferret owners. The emotions displayed are realistic. The choice of interiors was extremely good as it leaves the viewer wondering "What is this place?, Who lives here?" You'll fall in love with Sam and feel a relationship with all of the characters as they show us "ourselves". "The Magic Ferret" is a delight no matter your age. Highly recommend this film!

Director Alison Parker has done it again. The Magic Ferret is a delightfully entertaining and heart-warming tale about an orphan named Sam (played by Jacob Tremblay), and his ferret Booger (played by Falcor the Ferret). Watching the film, you can sense the bond between human and ferret. Falcor is his usual hammy but lovable self, and Jacob is so adorable you can't help but feel for his situation. The other actors round out the ensemble nicely. This is a definite must watch for viewers both young and old, and will be a favorite of many people. Kudos to everyone involved in making this film a reality. Looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for this young and innovative director.

Director Alison Parker has done it again...a wonderful short film that features a ferret! The cast is phenomenal and this 10+ minute short could easily be made into a full length feature. Jacob Tremblay is simply adorable as Sam...perfect for the part. I highly recommend this adorable family-friendly film to anyone who loves ferrets, or who might not be familiar with how wonderful these little pets are. Also of note is the great soundtrack which features Selena Gomez singing the 1970s hit "Magic"...perfect for the movie! Great job Alison Parker and cast and crew of THE MAGIC FERRET! The ONLY downside, and it's a small one, is that the feature is short and did not have Falcor the Ferret in as big of a role that he should have had.

OMG! Could you get any cuter kid then Jacob to be in this film? I don't think so! He and Falcor (the ferret) are wonderful together and truly make this the cutest short film I've seen in ages! OK, I'm partial to ferrets and anything that shows them in a good light but still it's an adorable film and Jacob is just too cute for words! I can't wait for my grandchildren to see this film!

Special thanks to Alison Parker for making this a reality for the ferret community and showing that ferrets truly are smart, loving, wonderful pets and great companions for the right person or family once you've done your research about them.
