This is an enchanting film, with clever use of animation throughout the film to allow Beatrix Potter's famous drawings and sketches to 'come alive'. Miss Potter is beautifully played Renee Zellweger - it shows how true love in victorian times was seen as less importance than class status - she, however, stood up to her parents and allowed her love to overcome class related arranged marriages. A beautiful story, and one that will capture the imagination of all who treasured her books as a child.
