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 old, as speed bumps weren't introduced in the UK until 1987. Pringle appears to be of a similar age to Mrs. Silver (Judith Dench), and Mr. Hoppy (Dustin Hoffman), who were born in 1934 and 1937 respectively.

Featured review
Well all I can say is wonderful family story we all watched at Christmas just lovely adore Judie Dench but the highlight for me was her outfits have one dress like hers can't find any more would just love to have some more especially the white with big pink flowers so different suits my new shabby chic phase anyone know where to find them but back to review the grandkids loved it because of the tortoise s as we have 6 and they are great pets and like them get into trouble if not watched the little garden of Mr Hoppy was a delight and just shows you can make a little go a long way feel good film with real people and a very happy ending can't ask for more ,
