Audience Member Helsinki on puettu kauneinpiinsa, sen elämänmeno on verkkaista ja ihmiset hyvänsuopia. Lastensadun vähäeleinen komedia saa seuraa syvällisestä draamasta, kun ihmiseksi haluava pelikaani kohtaa ihmisyyden ilot ja surut. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Children are harshly underestimated with this film... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Suloinen.. vähä itkettäväkin tiedä miks.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Pure gold for children. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Childrens fiction, classy happy sweet lovely and funny. About life and about it, that it is not always cheerfull to remember. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very annoying Finnish comedy about a pelican who turns into a man. I was forced to watch this during a Finnish class.
