My Red Ball's Big Adventure

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2013)

A family of Japanese acrobats are touring Thailand during the holidays when a tidal wave hits right in the middle of a boxing match. One child's red ball goes through a harrowing experience in the aftermath - talk about getting kicked while your down! - while a Swedish cherub sits in a tree in the oddest advertisement for cola I have ever seen.
Not sure why the Japanese people spoke with British accents, and then my monkey tried to tell me they were actually Spanish! I was baffled by their complete disregard for foot care walking around barefoot the whole time.
Let me tell you though, me and monkey were completely transfixed, and I'm not going to lie, we cried a little. This will be a big hit in Lima, I'm sure, the whole crowd was gasping and blubbering the whole time. It's about time someone was brave enough to depict the horrors of going through life as a red ball in the East where they are treated like garbage. Red balls in the West should be very thankful. And what a beautiful reminder this film is of that.
