History WesternAnimation / TheGruffalosChild

* {{Adaptation Expansion}}: In the animated film, the story is narrated by a Squirrel who is reassuring her scared children that the large footprints in the snow did not belong to the Gruffalo (whom she told a story about previously) and she tells the story. As well as that, several other moments are added, for example the Snake suggests the Gruffalo’s child go down to the lake, which is frozen, claiming the Big Bad Mouse is down there, and then the Gruffalo’s Child sees Snake smiling when the ice breaks and she nearly drowns, and angering the Sanke when she survives.

* {{Bizarre Alien Biology}}: The Gruffalo and his Child are not exactly aliens but they are beasts. The Gruffalo has orange eyes, knobbly knees, large teeth, a black tongue, and purple prickles all over his back, and dark brown fur. The Child has yellow eyes, normal knees, large (but not as large as her fathers) teeth, pink prickles and beige fur. Weather this is because the Child is a girl and not male is unknown, or it could be because she’s a child and not grown up yet.
* {{Daddys Girl}}: The Gruffalo’s daughter lives with her father in a cave, and it’s made clear that he cares for her and is protective of her. Despite his abrasive nature of dragging her back to the cave after she tried to enter The Deep Dark Woods, he’s clearly trying to protect her from the so-called Big Bad Mouse.

The voice cast includes Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter as Mother Squirrel, Creator/ShirleyHenderson as The Gruffalo’s Child, Creator/RobbieColtrane as the Gruffalo, Creator/JamesCorden as the Mouse, Creator/TomWilkinson as the Fox, Creator/JohnHurt as the Owl and Creator/RobBrydon as the Snake.
