Please don't spend money on this.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film is surely one of the most classic late 60's cartoon.The content is a later well known mix of fantasy for kids and hidden reality for grown ups. Here the world of grown ups are seen though child eyes, sincere, ironizing and without soaking "Hollywood" tears.It has laid the grounds for Danish cartoons and given breakthrough power to two of the most talented danish cartoonist storymakers. It combines all aspects of images and daringly takes on anything possible on celloid. As one of the two only films of the company "Fiasko Film" it has a special quality as it probably the only film company never to fail at anything.It is still one of the most used and loved films for children in kindergardens.

Big words, but Danes who were children in the seventies and eighties know this movie. I saw this movie the first time when I was about 5 (late seventies), and I was glued to the screen due to the plot. When I saw the movie as an adult I laughed a lot due to the humor in this brilliant movie. Anyone from Denmark should know this one, and I can only recommend it to all other.

Benny lives with his mother in a concrete jungle. His mother's busy talking to her friends and Benny's left alone – bored. He goes for a walk and finds a tadpole in a nearby lake. Benny releases the tadpole in the bathroom-tub and now the magic begins. The tadpole is a magical prince and the tub turns in to a giant ocean inhabited by sweet, absurd, strange and helpful creatures. It's a film for children from 6 years of age and perhaps even more a film for their parents.It's a film about children turning to the imagination when the real world is too grey and boring. The vivid imagination, narrative joy, the humour and sarcastic comment on how we live our lives makes this film a masterpiece.
