The film uses a step-by-step method to describe the British people's economic recovery from the economic depression of the 1960s. In fact, in addition to a precise plot, the film's great success also needs to be thanked for the polishing of the dubbing. The film invited Golden Globe winners Brenda Bryce and Jim Broadbent to dub the male and female protagonists respectively, thus making the characters vivid and three-dimensional. There is no need for too much rhetoric to highlight the characteristics of the movie. If you also want to experience the bland and special feeling in life, then you should come and watch this "London Family". The nature of doing it on the spot, while empathizing with it, can't help but cry for this family.

    The ending is so sad. Thinking that this is a very common and normal ending, I feel even more sad.

    The ending saw that it was an adaptation of real life, and instantly burst into tears. As an animated film, I once felt that the plot did not fluctuate slightly during the viewing process; but as a real life, everything is so warm and touching, and I can't get it.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.

  • [last lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [with Jean, looking at the full grown pear tree in Ethel and Ernest's back yard] I grew it from a pip.
