Shelly A Love this when I was a kid, and love sharing it with any kids in my care for movie nights :) it’s a slower paced movie not all hyped up rubbish they make now .. just love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Gareth v An Aussie classic. A beautifully told story about loss, friendship & hope. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Audience Member For It's Time This Was A Step Into A New View Upon Environmental Care & Consideration. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review delysid d very impressed with this film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/21 Full Review Audience Member A great family movie set in the beautiful Goolwa area of South Australia where pelicans fly free and the surf crashes on empty beaches. In this film, a boy's best friend is a pelican he rescued because his beach shack home is so isolated being distant from the nearest town, with access only by boat. A nice growing up film for all ages. Good acting and great direction, a well-made Ozzie film made in 1976. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This original or first movie of 'Storm Boy' was very enjoyable I like it better than 2nd depiction Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
