Trama e commenti: bancarellaweb.it - itacalibri.it: «Questo cartone animato ripropone, con un linguaggio semplice ed incisivo, la vita di San Francesco colta nei punti essenziali e la totale dedizione alla volontà di Dio che lo chiamava all’amore per gli uomini e per la natura attraverso la completa rinuncia di sé e delle cose superflue. La proposta della storia della sua vita ai bambini è, in una società corrosa dal consumismo, una garanzia per il giusto sviluppo umano».
