Genres & Description

Action Comedy Family Romance

7.0 / 10

Lonely, ageing bachelor Mr Hoppy lives in a London flat and has two loves in his life - his balcony garden and Mrs Silver, the widow in the flat below. Sadly Mrs Silver is too fond of her tortoise Alfie to respond. Noting that Mrs Silver is perturbed that Alfie never seems to grow Mr Hoppy hatches a plan to show her how much he cares. This involves buying dozens of tortoises of increasing sizes to gradually substitute for Alfire, leading Mrs Silver to believe that a Bedouin chant - Esio Trot - is making her pet grow. However he is rumbled when one of the tortoises escapes. And, with another, brash resident vying for Mrs Silver's affections, will Mr Hoppy find happiness with the woman he loves?

Spoiler Alert OMG I am SO glad they changed the ending for the movie. I can still remember reading the book as a kid and I absolutely HATED the ending so much, I was so angry I felt like I had wasted my entire day reading that book just to get a rubbish ending. The movie did the right thing by making Mrs Silver find out about he's evil little scheme, only I wouldn't have married him after, I'd have forgotten about the loser. - @Sunday, May 8, 2016 10:09 AM

I know I'm risking the wrath of the Titans in commenting on a YouTube video, but an interesting deconstruction of "Esio Trot" by one of my favorite authors (Patrick Rothfuss) that I think is worth considering: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/850881820 - @Tuesday, December 9, 2014 10:17 PM

AAAAAAHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Esio Trot was one of my absolute favourites as a little kid. Certainly nurtured both the writer and hopeless romantic in me! ^_^ OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! - @Monday, December 8, 2014 3:45 AM
