Lucky and Zorba Trailers

A seagull is caught by the black tide of a sinking petrol ship. She manages to fly inland and falls down in a garden by a cat. Moribund, she asks the cat to fulfill three promises: that when she lays her egg he must not eat it; that he must take care of it until it hatches; that he would teach the newborn how to fly.

While I don't consider "Lucky and Zorba" to be a masterpiece, I think that it was a cute little film, with a very good ecological message.The characters from this movie were adorable and very likable, particularly the cat Zorba. I like the way in which this doesn't follow the stereotypical portrayal of the cats as mean creatures (An annoying cliché which has been done to death in many other cartoons) The animation and the music were merely decent (Though I like some of the songs) but the characters designs were cute and pleasant to watch.Even if "Lucky and Zorba" isn't perfect, I found it to be an enjoyable animated film for the whole family.

I watched this movie dubbed in Spanish on a DVD that came free with a Spanish magazine, so I obviously wasn't expecting much. What I found though is one of the most heartwarming children's films I've ever seen. There are some great songs (in Spanish anyway) and the DVD I have even has a karaoke feature should you decide you like them so much (yes, I've done it). The story does pretty much what the title says. A seagull dies and leaves a cat to look after her egg. The film follows the adventures of the baby seagull and her cat friends. There are moments of sorrow and others of happiness. I'm sorry for not being more articulate but my point is that I was emotionally touched and I think you will be too. Watch it if ever you get the chance.

I relly liked this movie because the storyline was touching. It's good both for young and old people. Zorba is a noble cat and Fortunata is nice and "cucci". Antonella.
