lovely little film, 3 March 2005
10/10
Author: hans-189 from Sweden

This film is pleasant for kids. It's a fantastic story that small kids easily can relate to. I saw the film with my grandchildren and they just loved it. Few film allow young kids into the story without being stupid and "childish", but this one works just fine. The story of a Pelican appearing as a man sounds strange but the fantasy becomes reality and the Pelicanman survives by imitating people and by that he shows hoe shallow human life can be. Maybe not so surprising for grownups but just great for kids. They do see us that way. The film is well done and the dialog is subtle, concentrated and fully acceptable for kids. When I saw the film not even one kid left the room for a visit at the rest rooms and the almost full cinema was not disturbed by whispers (nor cry). If you have kids, your own or others, don't hesitate; see this film!
