Benshi's review :

Billy the Hamster has hit the big screen thanks to this series based on the children’s picture books by Catharina Valckx! To ride along with the little hamster cowboy is to revel in a whole salvo of original adventures in which the watch words are always friendship, solidarity and audacity! In his native Wild West, Billy is always surrounded by his dad and his faithful friends, Jean-Claude the Worm and Suzie the Stone Marten. And when trouble arrives, the neighbours in the village are never far away. And here comes another adventure full of surprises and twists! Billy is giddy at the prospect of meeting his hero, Jessy Dog. But he quickly finds out that the gap between fiction and reality is huge, and the more he learns about his idol, the more disillusioned he becomes. When they are pitted against an awful band of scoundrels, they have to roll up their sleeves and fight – and even though the cowboy puts on a poor show, ultimately we see there is indeed strength in unity!
