RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #50 - Revisiting Childhood With Storm Boy and Mr Percival

in #writing7 years ago

I haven't heard of this movie but your description of it makes me want to watch it. The story sounds like a touching one! There are many stories about children with animal friends, especially dogs (Old Yeller, Where the red fern grows, etc) but this is the first I have heard about a pelican buddy.

Sort:  

This was an early Australian film industry classic. It has fallen out of modern consciousness though. However, it always stayed in my memories. I downloaded it again through iTunes, and watched it that way. It is a touching film. For me especially given childhood connections, but it still stands as a story of value and meaning.
