My friend Fabrizio brought this movie to the kids from Italy telling us it was very sweet, and he was right.[SPOILER PARAGRAPH] It's the story of a dying seagull that hands off her newly deposited egg to the only creature present at the time, a cat. She makes the cat promise to take care of her spawn, as well as teaching it how to fly when it's ready. The cat, reluctantly, accepts a burden that won't be easy to carry, especially given his nature of hunter of the exact same creature he's now bound to protect and raise.
The movie teaches about friendship, commitment and the moral duty of doing what's right, and as such, it is an invaluable tool when dealing with children and these kinds of topics.
The story is simple and well developed and the animation is 2D and sort of crude, if you will, but enjoyable nonetheless.
A good movie, if you can track it down this side of the ocean.
Grade: 7
