This is fun and magical. Well made.
When a magical comb falls into the hands of the barber's son Bartele, not only does the hair of his customers grow, but also his father's greed accelerates, until a sorceress comes to Bartele's aid.
Beautifully shot - excellent video and audio. Good story. I'm a fan of fairy tales and this has the feeling of one, starting with the story of Miss Lize and Bartele finding the magic comb. When the bald guy has hair down to his shoulders, it's a kick! Then dad comes on way too strong, filled with greed and not wanting to stop. Meanwhile, Bartele is reaching out to kids who are bald from cancer or illness. Fortunately a sorceress shows up just in time.
The film's message is about believing in magic, but keeping the lid on it.
I give Bartele Buse - Miss Lize's Comb 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Marissa S., KIDS FIRST!

When a magical comb falls into the hands of the helpful barber's son Bartele, not only does the hair of his customers grow, but also his father's greed accelerates, until a sorceress comes to Bartele's aid. Bartele is a boy who always and everywhere finds all sorts of items and stashes them in his trouser pocket (buse). He has amassed a whole collection of objects under his bed. At home, they consider his finds to be nothing more than dirty junk. But Bartele pays no mind to this. With every discovery, a magical world unfolds that completely captivates both Bartele and his family. Bartele Buse - The Comb of Miss Lize is the first part of a series of short films based on the European award-winning Frisian children's book Bartele Buse.
