everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is such a cute short! Falcor the ferret is adorable, and for ferret lovers, it's great to have a movie that is centred around a ferret. Alison Parker did a great job with this movie. I only wish this wasn't a "short" and was a full-length! It's a very heartwarming story, and I'm happy it shows ferrets in their true light. Some people have said it isn't realistic, well, I think it's because it's a short, not a feature-length, so it doesn't have time to dive deep into the history or have multi-dimensional characters. Like the description says, it's about a boy trying to deal with the death of his mother, and Ms. Parker manages to get the emotion of the loss of a loved one across, while keeping the story light enough for a short film. If you like ferrets, or you have kids who like animals, get this movie, you and the kids will enjoy watching Falcor's (Jasper) tricks and silly antics that ferrets are known for.

I was super excited about this movie ever since hearing about production. Lo and behold, I received it and watched it... Being totally honest, this movie will appeal to animal lovers and ferret lovers alike. It is a simple movie, with a simple storyline, but such depth is brought in by the actor portraying Jake, and let's not even start with how cute Falkor is! *Falkor, I'm your fan!* The connection between human and ferret is magical from the beginning to the end. All of the other animal cameos were excellent as well. I have no idea who would not like this film! It is a heart warming story, really beautiful quality of picture *totally surprised by this, really good for an independent film*, the soundtrack is really catchy. It was great, MUST WATCH!

I have been watching this film's progress for a long time, at last a good film about a ferret. Hope someday to see a full length version-- love love love this movie.A must see for all ferret folk and non-ferret people as well-- in fact! If you're an animal lover, watch this movie! Those who say animals can't love are so wrong. Jake & Jasper shows the loving bond between animal & human. My first ferret was brought into our home to help with my daughters depression-- he saved her life and sanity and made a confirmed FERRET lover.I loved Jake & Jasper: A Ferret Tale!!! I thought Connor Stanhope and Falcor (the ferret) I was left wanting MORE though.

This is a wonderful family movie and teaches valuable lessons in compassion, friendship, fighting, family and ferrets. The film is not rated but I can tell you there is no foul language, nudity or violence. It is very safe for all ages! The film is 25 min 14 sec long great for short attention spans. There are also a few special features like: Behind the Scenes: The Making of Jake and Jasper, Funder's Pets Photo Montage (the kids loved this), Official Trailer and Fundraising Promo Video. And if you do some searching and hit the #1 on your remote you can even some hidden goodies like a blooper reel. I love the tag line for the movie which is, "sometimes all you need is a little friendship." And I loved the cinematic techniques used throughout the film. One of my favorite parts was the meadow scene with the white horse (Gwyn mentions it in here review). I also thought the acting was very well done and Jesse (played by Nina Hagerty) did such a great job with the scene where she gives Jasper to Jake (totally brought tears to my eyes). Both kids loved how Jasper (played by Falcor) looks just like our Jester. But they were disappointed when they tried to get Jester to do tricks like Falcor did in the movie, like fetching, rolling over and begging.Like Gwyn mentioned, Jake played by Connor Stanhope is homeschooled. I asked Connor on his Facebook page what he liked most about homeschooling and what his favorite subject was. He replied "Hi :) I think one of the things I like best is being able to work at my own pace. I also like being able to choose some of my own things to learn. My favorite subject is science." Being a homeschool family we love to support movies that feature homeschooled actors.We highly recommend this movie to ferret, nature, animal, family, homeschool, short film movie lovers everywhere.If you would like to watch a video review here is the link http://youtu.be/xBPs2Vk3Lrc
