"I saw this film just after I left school in 1981. To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been broadcast on British television since. I recently had the pleasure of watching this wonderful film for the second time, after it was finally released on DVD in the UK. Although essentially a children's film, I think adults will find this an engaging movie - particularly Greg Rowe's endearing performance in the title role. Hard to believe it was made so long ago. Message to any Australians reading this thread - Has there ever been a dramatisation of the Beaumont Children case? http://..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

The film's famous beach dance sequence with Storm Boy and Mr Percival the pelican was unscripted and it was only by chance that the film crew filmed it.
