I was impressed by this short film from Poland and its focus on providing entertaining and informative content to young kids. It's bright and fun, while teaching kids about how to take care of their eyes. The dialogue is in Polish, with English subtitles, which makes it complicated for its intended audience to watch. However, we were informed that an English dubbed version is on the way, so that would make this fit the KIDS FIRST! Film Festival better.
The story follows a character names Snail Spinner who has trouble with his eye and needs to do eye exercises. His friend, Ladybug Dottie lends a hand and the two of them learn the importance of taking care of their eyes.
Cute production. I love the animation - it's clean and clear and clever - the three C's! And the topic, about eye care, is quite appropriate for young kids. I remember having to wear glasses from an early age and an informative film like this would have been terrific. The voiceover artist, actress Anna Guzik-Tylka, voices all three voices - the narrator, Ladybug Dottie and Snail Spinner. She is quite proficient at differentiating the three voices so we can easily figure out which character is speaking. Hats off to Katarzyna Agopsowicz, the film's director; her commitment to creating films for the youngest viewers, especially those with visual impairments.
The film's message is to take care of your eyes; they're the only set you get!
I give Pirate Game 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 8. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
