Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

John Downes I loved Lionel Jeffries as an actor from when I was a young teenager. As CPO Sidney Kraut in Two Way Stretch he was nothing short of brilliant, stealing every scene from no less than Peter Sellers, Quite simply, he was a talent of surprising versatility best known for comedy but also with a a portfolio of character roles.His directing career started off like that of Orson Welles.... The Railway Children is simply in a class of its own, an outstanding film that appeals to the whole family but without patronising in any way.The Amazing Mister Blunden was not as good but it's still worth a look.So how the blazes did he end up directing dross like this? Did he need the money? I would like to think that, beyond directing the film, he didn't play much of a part in the production. The original idea, the (dreadful) script, the pitching of it to the investors.... please tell me it was all done by somebody else. Because this film is a crock. And just look at the cast. James Mason, Billie Whitelaw, Bernard Cribbins and the voices that you never get to see are pretty much a Who's Who of British acting talent of the time. Quite extraordinary.Anyway, to the film. I really didn't like the child actor in the lead role. He's an ugly little brat with too much hair and a nasty voice. And he's in every scene for the whole 105 minutes (and, believe me, it seems a lot longer). And, much as I admire James Mason and Bernard Cribbins neither of them are going to be pointing at this as a piece of work that they are proud of. The animation is poor, and the less said about the quality of the musical score the better for everybody.All in all, it's pretty damn poor, and a blot on the CV of the great Lionel Jeffries.

ShelbyTMItchell Films brings back childhood memories as I was at least 6 when this came out at HBO. With my older siblings we saw this dozens of times.Tom is an orphaned young chimney sweep of 12-years old abused by his two masters that want to rob a very rich house. It is there that he is accused of theft and escapes with only a girl of his age, as the only one that saw what truthfully and actually took place. As she tries to clear his name.He then being chased to a dangerous river, he and his dog make a jump for it for he has no other choice as he and his dog, Toby go to cartoon as he learns to swim, makes friends, also some enemies, sings songs, as well as wants to prove he is a decent young kid. By rescuing the water babies.After he gets his wish and returns back to human form. He must resume to clear his name and turn in the real culprits, which are the two abused masters lead by the late James Mason. As they go back to the mansion to rob some more.Really good film and a great child's film. Full of innocence and full of heart. Wished that they made more films like that. Now all you have is junk!

kelkel01 I too have been looking for a copy of Water Babies. My sister and I were just talking about this movie yesterday. As for the other movie you mentioned, it is called Dot and the Kangaroo. I actually found this movie on DVD at Wal-Mart a few months ago for $1.00. It was in a bin full of other classic cartoons like Little Brown jug and Molly the Moo Cow. What a find I was so excited! My daughter has since watched it several times and loves it as much as I did. Although she laughed at me when I pointed out the parts that used to scare me as a child. The sound and picture quality was about the same as in the '70's. Does anyone know a good website to order same of these titles? I also desperately want a copy of Song of the South

tezzahorse OK. Who ever invented this film hates humanity and wants to see them all slit their throats. This "film" was absolute and utter filth. What the heck was up with the weird old bags eyes? Seriously, was she on some sort of horrible drug and then she like just thought she could control people? She was running around with her freaking evil eye and it was like what? Do I have a booger hanging out of my nose? What are you staring at? Are you like the sea witch or something? All and all though I thought the graphics were top notch old chap. For that alone I would give it a ten. But just cover your ears when you are watching it. The pure and complete evil that comes from that film will make your ears bleed and your eyelids fall off. Who knows? You might even get a knot in your small intestine. You better watch out fools.
