Wrap up warm, because this family is not turning back. Michael Rosen's best-selling bedtime book becomes a half-hour animated adventure for Channel 4, with a family trudging through swishy-swashy grass, squelchy mud and a swirling snowstorm on the hunt for a bear. They're not scared. Not at all. Olivia Colman, Pam Ferris and Mark Williams voice the family, with Rosen himself as the bear, and the film adds extra dialogue and a few new touches to the story you know by heart. Best watched with a blanket, a cuppa and kids who can't resist joining in with every line.
