5.0 out of 5 stars shame its not on dvd, 1 Jul 2007
By T. M. Sargent "Tadtastic" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars When The Whales Came, 1 May 2009
By L. Grzonka (Fleet, Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
