Storm Boy (1976)
6/10
Kids' Favourite

Warning: Spoilers
This heart-warming, fun-loving flick will be a kids' favourite. Concerns the adventures of Mr. Perciville, brother to Mr. Proud and Mr. Ponder, he is an orphan pelican who is raised and nurtured by a ten year old boy who lives a lonely life with his hermit father in the remote coast land of South Australia.

The movie touches on the issues of parenthood, responsibility and friendship, but it is really just a simple tale of a young boy and the pelican he loves. Lovely scenery compliments the film. David Gulpilil made his movie debut as 'fingerbone' Bill.

N.B. Based upon Colin Thiele's book.
