Short film for the weekend: Thomas and Korduni – Bees save elephants (2019)

Frank Feustle’s 25-minute documentary needs a little more attention than most of the short films I present here.

The theme is serious, as the KUKI program describes, but the view into a distant world is all the more exciting: “Thomas and Korduni live at the foot of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and are real elephant experts. To protect the crop from the animals without harming them, the boys are motivated to find a clever solution. “

New in the cinema: November 7, 2019

Our teacher, the Christmas Witch

According to a local Italian legend, the Christmas witch Befana brings the presents to the children on January 6 – but what if the witch once brought a child’s present too late and drove him first to despair and then to revenge? If this kid now kidnaps the witch to take her place?

That is the basis on which Our teacher, the Christmas Witch unfolds its story, and while the film in the first third still very cheerfully herumzuckelt with this premise, he is always Chaotic – fraught with scrupulous script steps and connection errors included. A very imperfect synchronization unfortunately completes the picture. My detailed review describes that in more detail.

(FSK 6, recommended from 11 years)

Darling, I shrunk the children (1989)

It was very, very long ago that I saw this movie, and in memory it was rather too simple; but a reunion with the kids together made out Darling, I shrunk the children a pretty enjoyable experience.

Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) is the prototype of the airborne inventor; In his house are all sorts of small devices around, to make life easier, but not everything works as it should. His great hope is the shrink cannon he assembles in the attic, but at a conference he is only laughed at for his idea. His wife Diane (Marcia Strassman) still loves him and meanwhile, as a broker, brings the money home.

By a stupid accident, however, Amy and Nick, the two children of Szalinskis (Amy O’Neill and Robert Oliveri) shrank with the children of very different ticking neighbors, by the beam of the cannon on pinhead size – and land accidentally and accidentally only in a garbage bag and then in the actually small garden of the family. In their view, however, the garden is a huge jungle with lurking dangers: ants, raindrops and even a lawnmower … how are they supposed to tell parents what has happened so that they can hopefully bring them back to the right size??

How catchy the idea behind this fleet-footed Disney adventure is, you can see in retrospect, of course, that there were not only sequels, but also a few German variations like the last, not so bad Help, I’ve shrunk my teacher. Joe Johnston’s film was here in 1989 at Christmas time, which also fits within the very American family movie concept: There is for all ages. something here.

For the smaller children some excitement, sibling rivalry and (actually familiar, but just huge) Monster from friendly to dangerous. For the adolescents a little romance between daughter Amy and the neighbor boy. For the adults, amusement, whether of confusion and parental figures.

Of course, these correspond to the gender stereotypes of the Szalinskis as well as their neighbors, albeit twisted against each other: in the inventor / broker household, the woman has everything under control, while the man is a small, loving, creative chaot; in Thompsons he is the masculine Macker who does not know how to deal with his growing son, she the more reserved – but actually just the wiser.

The fact that this is never unbearable, is mainly because the film itself does not take these conditions too seriously; that’s all a big, happy nonsense and nonsense, even if all the actors deepen with dedication and seriousness in their roles. Above all, the big little Rick Moranis, the cinema painfully misses, since he did the right thing for him and after the death of his wife in the early 1990s has focused entirely on his children.

The special effects, and many are, of course, from today’s perspective, not quite dewy, but sympathetic handmade. The gigantic ant thus becomes a little less threatening, and it is always a great pleasure to join in the fun with the characters, especially since certain dangers (the lawn mower …) are introduced so early that you can scare yourself for a long, long time what they are probably bring with you.

And when the Szalinskis float on a wire construction above their garden, looking for their children with lamps and loupes, that’s just a pretty idea for a mobile, which one should actually hang into the room. You can not have too much Rick Moranis in your life.
