KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
rogerdozier A fun little toon that made me feel happy, just like it should for a 44 year old haha, I'm still a kid at heart and most kids will probably love it.
Parker Lewis I stumbled upon Stick Man when channel surfing and what a delight this Christmas special is!!So many elements make Stick Man so appealing and emotionally moving. The animation, the voices. Martin Freeman shines as the voice of Stick Man (incidentally, I was shocked to hear of his break-up with Amanda Abbington at the end of 2016 - how will this affect the casting of Sherlock?) and when Sherlock ends Martin should consider being a voice artist.The ending was very moving with the viewers wondering whether Stick Man will be reunited with his family in time for Christmas. Thankfully Santa Claus saves the day for Stick Man.
Prismark10 Stick Man is an endearing adaptation of Julia Donaldson's children's book featuring the voices of Martin Freeman, Sally Hawkins and Hugh Bonneville. It remains faithful to the rhyming text.Stick Man lives in the family tree with his family. Stick lady and stick kids or should they be twigs?However while he is out for a jog he gets snatched by a dog and there begins a series of events leading him to be taken further away from home and seemingly no chance of finding his way back to the family tree as the seasons come and go. Luckily for Stick Man there is a festive tinged ending in sight for him.Stick man takes a lot of knocks in this heart-warming CGI cartoon adaptation but he is a kindly soul but at a loss as to why people do not see him as a person but just as a stick.As a slightly cynical parent it is easy to be dismissive of these types of Christmas day special cartoons but I found this to be charming.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Stick Man" is a British television short film from the writing team of the 2 Gruffalo short films and "Room on the Broom". It's not difficult to see that, also without the trademark squirrel and the rhyming verses from start to finish. It is about a stick man, who is mistaken for a stick and unlucky coincidence makes it that he gets taken away further and further from home as the film goes on. It goes on for 26 minutes and the thing takes place at Christmas. In the end Santa gives to the stick man after the Stick Man helped Santa before. A cute little film, mostly for younger audiences, but grown-ups can also have fun. The cast includes Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, Emmy winner Martin Freeman (for the main character) and Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonnevill voicing Santa. Not bad for a television production. I personally thought this was a good watch. No truly great moments, but certainly worth checking out during the holidays.
