All movies of Julia Donaldson books are great, but this one stands out as a particularly beautiful adaptation. The sceneries are beautiful, there's a little bit of action, but also just quiet and funny moments. Every time we watch it, my kids are completely transfixed. I think part is that the snail forces things to slow down, and so the scenes can be fast, but the snail is the slow anchor.
Later, when the snail comes back home and gets the other snails to join, I always have to wipe a little tear out of my eye... The scene and the music is really beautiful.
I highly recommend all the movies about Julia Donaldson books, but if you only want to watch one of them, then make.it this one.
