Citas:

[first lines]
Robert: It was the Summer of nineteen seventeen and the world was at war. Like lots of children, we had to leave our home. - Leave London. We didn't want to go, but Dad went to fly planes, and Mum went to look after the wounded, and we were stuck. They insisted we go to the country, to stay with mad Uncle Albert and our cousin Horace.

Version of "Five Children and It" (1991)

Enjoyable

No intro.

It's the Great War; a group of children stay with their eccentric uncle and meet It (a sand fairy).

A sand fairy is a funny looking, short, talking creature that lives in a beach and can grant wishes. It's not in this movie as much as expected. The rest of the picture deals with how all the kids want their father to return home safely. One top scene: the children grown wings and fly up to meet German Zeppelins! Branagh has a strange role as the maths obsessed uncle, Fitzgerald is the mother and Wisdom appears in a shop (how old is this actor?). The movie is another of those non-American children's movies that reminds me of the atrocious Tooth.

Five Children and It is an enjoyable and intelligent kids' movie.
