Moose's Comment: "The story: eight years ago, Anne Elliot let her family persuade her to reject the man she loved, the gallant but poor sailor Fredrick Wentworth, to wait for a wealthy suitor. Today, Wentworth has returned, but can he possibly still love her after she rejected him?

Watch this movie, based on the classic novel by Jane Austen, for its portrayal of the rigid class structure and social gamesmanship of 19th century England. Enjoy the story of undying love between a moose and a squirrel. It's not quite as good as Pride and Prejudice, but we wanted to expose our friends in Orlando to a well-told Jane Austen story."

Squirrel's Comment: "Why is it that all of the Squirrel Movies (tm) are scheduled during the middle of the night? Granted, I'm a night owl, but this is ridiculous...

Only a Jane Austen story can portray touching romance without being a chick flick. Impossible, you say? Not at all. Don't believe me? Check out this film. I'm calling on all of you to come out and give this beautiful movie the props it deserves. I will personally make all who show their very own cup of coffee."

Trivia: The movie was filmed completely on location, using all natural light, on a very small budget.
