Synopsis
The Hairy Tooth Fairy (El ratón Pérez, 2006) is a family adventure you can watch online on iFILM. Pérez the mouse has the best job around: at night he slips under children's pillows, takes the baby teeth they've hidden there, and leaves a few coins behind. In Spanish folklore he's what the Tooth Fairy is everywhere else.
Pérez ferries the teeth to his boat in the harbour, where hundreds of mice polish them into shiny pearls. Then one ordinary tooth-run goes wrong, and the little mouse is snatched by crooks. The rescue falls to Lucía — the very girl he'd set out to visit. With her cousin Ramiro she mounts a full-scale operation to get her friend back. Expect chases through the sewers, a scheming jeweller, and plenty of close calls, but nothing too scary for younger viewers.
Argentine director Juan Pablo Buscarini blends live actors with an animated mouse hero. It's a light, good-hearted pick for a family night with kids around five to ten. Stream The Hairy Tooth Fairy (2006) online on iFILM.
