When The Whales Came 1 May 2009

By L. Grzonka

Format:VHS Tape

An evocative tale based on the book by Michael Morpurgo. Part fairy tale, part study of life during very hard times, When The Whales Came is a story that holds your attention throughout. A fine film adaptation and a really good read for all ages.

When the Whales came 3 Jan 2011

By tresco addict

Format:VHS Tape

A brilliant and sensitive portrayal of life in the Isles of Scilly just at the time of the First World war. A great cast and the children have been very well directed. The music is atmospheric and hauntingly beautiful to match this special place. This is a proper story written by someone who knows his craft, understands children and loves the islands. Warning:
It is regrettable that the trailers of other films that preface the video are utterly unsuitable for children.

shame its not on dvd 1 July 2007

By T. M. Sargent

Format:VHS Tape

A great film that i watched many times as a child. Unfortunately it has not been released on dvd. I find this strange as Helen Mirren plays a main role in this fantastic film.
