|
Outline: |
Harry Belafonte narrates this superb adaptation of Marie Hall Ets 1963 |
||
| children's classic about a little boy and his adventures with his delightful and | ||||
| unpredictable friend - the wind! The wind plays with Gilberto and his balloon, | ||||
| the clothes on the wash, and an umbrella. The wind blows the grass and | ||||
| leaves, blows apples out of the tree, and helps fly a kite, sail a boat, spin a | ||||
| pinwheel, and carry away pretty soap bubbles. Using Ets' original illustrations, | ||||
| the film beautifully captures the many moods of the wind - sometimes a gentle | ||||
| friend, at other times fierce and exasperating. | ||||
