An adorable and affable mouse goes for a walk in the woods and on his way, outsmarts a fox, a snake, and other forest creatures who’d like to have him for a snack. Gorgeously rendered using a combination of CGI and stop-motion animation, “The Gruffalo” DVD – based on the storybook by Julia Donaldson – has just the right amounts of sweet and scary. Ages 4 and up, from Circle Entertainment, $10.

Disney FamilyFun.
