Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeventy-six tortoises were used in the making of this movie.
- GoofsMr Pringle twice says that the moment of his birth came about as a result of his father driving too quickly over a speed bump. This would make Pringle, at the time of the film's release (2015) no older than 32 years of age as speed bumps weren't introduced in the UK until 1987. Pringle, appears to be of a similar age to Mrs Silver, played by Judith Dench, and Mr Hoppy, played by Dustin Hoffman, who were born in 1934 and 1937 respectively.

Featured review
Esio Trot
A lovely charming adaptation of one of Roald Dahl's perhaps lesser known books, with wonderful performances from Hoffman and Dench and a winning script from Richard Curtis.
