Jake and Jasper: A Ferret Tale

It is a wonderful short film. You could relate to each character's emotions as the story played out. Many families across the world could relate to the pain the family was feeling as well as the stress this pain put on all of them.

In addition, it showed you the true nature of a ferret as a pet (unconditional love and friendship). Showed you how much enjoyment a ferret can bring to your life even in the worse of times since they are nature's little clowns. I also enjoyed watching Jasper play throughout the movie.

The way the movie ended also allowed you to see the new path of the family, but also left room for a full length movie or TV series to take over.

I absolutely loved Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale!!! I thought Connor Stanhope and Falcor (the ferret) were totally believable as bonded pals, and Falcor/Jasper was amazingly CUTE and smart. I was left wanting MORE though. This movie had a great storyline which I am sure was a difficult one to condense into such a short film. However, I think Alison Parker and her editors and assistants took a difficult task of getting so much into such a short space and came up with a very entertaining result. Bravo to all of you involved in the making of this film. Being in the family category I think it will be very well received. I know my family thoroughly enjoyed it, young and old.

Thank you SOOOO much for bringing a well done short story about a ferret and "his boy" to the movie world. They are amazing and wonderful little pets, and do not get enough recognition.

The movie was very enjoyable as a mum I shed genuine tears for the young Jake (Connor) I felt his pain through his character and whilst understanding his father's pain I really did want to give 'dad' a severe talking to. Big sis whilst singing to Jake brought the mum out in her, a very emotional movie from the human side. The star was always gonna be Jasper (Falcor)he is now the ambassador for ferret ownership worldwide. His antics had me laughing through my Jake induced tears. Need another movie showing step by step how Jasper (Falcor) was trained. What also made this movie special was involving pet and in particular ferrets to help finance the movie. For most of the contributors like me it is the first time we have done anything like this, what a pleasure to be able to say I helped make this wonderful movie a reality. I only have one negative to report and that is lack of sub titles. I rely on subtitles to help me follow a movie etc. Lack of subtitles means my husband has to tell me what is being said. Although visually I was so impressed with Jake (Connor) that I needed less help than normal :-)

I have been waiting for this film for a long time, at last a film about a ferret. I am a little albino ferret, and my mummy is helping to write this review. When I first saw the forerunner with all the cardboard animals, I knew that I had to help, so I saved up my pennies and became a funder. How pleased I am that I did this, as Alison has done us proud with this film. Although it is only about half an hour long, it is still filled with love and compassion, and shows just how much we little ferrets can help people in times of need. Now I am hoping that a full length film will be made, as I am waiting to see what happens to the family now they have just found each other again, and little Jasper is now included as a valued member. A good family film, and a must for ferret lovers!!!

I donated to this film, and watched it's progress as it was being made, and so, was very excited to see it reach my mailbox.

The story is timely inasmuch as there are many families who are experiencing the same, or very similar situations that Jake and Jessi face. While it was short in duration, I found myself recalling scenes and discussing it with others who viewed it, and therefore, do not feel it's length is relative. My first viewing was with my 9 and 7 year old granddaughters. They immediately identified with Jake and his father, as well as Falcor (I have 2 ferrets). They immediately began singing the song that Jake and Jessi sang, and are still singing it days after viewing. This film has all the ingredients to make a wonderful full length feature film, or, potentially, a television series. I found the actors and, of course, Falcor, to be believable and sincere in their portrayal of the characters.

In addition, I found the photography and direction to be very well done, as well as the locations where scenes were shot. Overall, I feel that my rating of 10 is justified and well-earned.
