5.0 out of 5 stars ANIMATION AT ITS FINEST 4 April 2005
By Andrew Niven
Format:VHS Tape
I first saw this sublime short film at the National Film Theatre's annual festival when it was first released and, as an avid lifelong animation fan, could not believe the quality of the artwork, let alone the storyline. Even my wife (a long-suffering "supporter" of my passion!) thought it was brilliant and had always asked me to buy a copy of it ever since. It was shown by the ever-loyal Channel 4, but I'd love to have my own copy of it, which I intend to do now.... Quite simply one of the finest pieces of hand-drawn animations of its kind. A classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Man Who Planted Trees 21 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Absorbing animation narrated by Christopher Plummer, which won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Not many people seem to know about it, and it's often difficult to get hold of, but don't let that put you off! It's the story of a man who personally transforms a lifeless barren landscape through his hard and anonymous labours into beautiful countryside, restoring life and community. A traveller encounters him in his early twenties, and goes back in search of him years later. It's one of those films that makes you think 'wow' - one man did all of this. It makes you subtley question your own values and beliefs, whilst being absorbed in the excellent animation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should watch this DVD 1 Dec 2009
By Mike Appelbe
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This award winning DVD is a beautiful work of art and suits almost any age. The drawings have a mystical quality and are such a relief from the crude cartoons of so many modern animated works aimed at children. The author shows amusing insight into the behaviour of the human race with moments of humour. The story ends very happily but it is no way sickly.
