“Poor old farmer u0026quot;Biffu0026quot; is struggling to get anything to grow! The soil is as dead as a dodo even after his neighbour tries a rejuvenating rain dance! Heu0026#39;s at his wits end until, that is, his porcine neighbour and investor u0026quot;Paulineu0026quot; declares that she has a cunning plan and that they are all to rendezvous at the railway station next morning. Thatu0026#39;s where they encounter the visionary inventor u0026quot;Albert Einswineu0026quot; who has developed an highly secret u0026quot;superseedu0026quot; that can thrive anywhere. Could this be salvation for u0026quot;Biffu0026quot;? Well not when itu0026#39;s stolen – and he is deemed to be the prime suspect. u0026quot;Albertu0026quot; now summons the legendary investigator u0026quot;Agatha Christensenu0026quot; who enlists the assistance of the accused manu0026#39;s children u0026quot;Clarau0026quot; and u0026quot;Gavinu0026quot; who are keen amateur sleuths – so maybe they can get to the bottom of the mystery before prison beckons for dad? Itu0026#39;s quite a fun animal-animation this. The story, set largely aboard a train, moves along quickly and there are a few twists and turns as we go along. It is clear with itu0026#39;s message – if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is – and I quite enjoyed it for what is an admittedly over-long eighty minutes that has a friendly and engaging Aardman look to it.”
