The story follows a nice pace and many people and places looked a lot liked I pictured them from reading the book. However, having read the book several times in my childhood I felt disappointed about how the movie handles the storyline. Things that were surprises in the book that were kept for the very end were given away halfway the film. In my opinion that spoils a lot of the surprise effect. So my warning to those who read the book is of course not to expect the storyline from the book. And those who want to show people this movie to interest them in the book should be warned that for the best story experience one should read the book first. Otherwise it's a nice family movie that is not a typical Dutch movie at all.

I have something to say about this movie, my name is Raymond Roodbol and i played the role of 'Bartje' in this movie. It's really strange that my name isn't mentioned here. It was a really great experience to do this, when i looked up 'Kruimeltje' here on IMDb, my name wasn't there. So i hope my name would be mentioned in the list, if that's possible.Something about the movie: The filming was at many places in the Netherlands, i really liked making this movie, also because it was such a success. After the great success of 'Kruimeltje, the movie', 'Kruimeltje, the musical' was played in the Netherlands, I also played in 'Kruimeltje The Musical' and also the role of 'Bartje'.

A lovely story about a boy, given away as a baby to a nasty woman, in search for his parents.Filmed in the tradition of musicals like David Copperfield and Oliver Twist, without the songs and with the sense of reality that's typical for most Dutch movies. I quite liked it and the children too, apparently: a cinema full of little ones, silent as mice.

Forget Home Alone, dont think about Air Bud: this is the childmovie for every age. It's a story about a homeless kid of ten years old, who had a heart of gold. The storyline is simple, and sometimes a litle dull. Could have used a liltle more humour near the end, but it's very heartwarming. See it with the family.
