This movie harms young boys by presenting the premise that it is okay for your ten year old girl to throw a cat in the dryer risking actual harm to the animal. However, the idea that an imaginative similarly aged boy who makes bang bang sounds at sparrows should be met with home invasion, high CFC spay, transfiguration, and the potential for extreme bodily harm is problematic.

I would also like to point out that this new character limit of six hundred characters per post is superfluous, supercilious, superfluent, and otherwise restrictive.

In the spirit of the above sentence here is the fourth longest word in the english language; Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

It was sometime ago back in the early to mid nineties, my Brother got a copy of it back when he passed the first grade, and I we still own the copy, and we always enjoyed it from time after time. The movie is filled with an equal portion of humor, action, courage, and of course a good influence for young ones of that age. The thing that I didn't know was, that the movie was originally made in Hungary back, in the late eighties. Well, like I say, we always enjoyed it, and so did all my brothers friends of who ever got a copy also, and of course will always be a masterpiece to all those out there, who's minds are just crying out for knowledge.

I study animation. Since am a little kid I watch this Sparrow animation. I think it's an very good animation, it inspires me enormously. The backgrounds, the music, and all phases of life being abstracted metaphorically. It's not hypocrite, like a lot of animations where, of that time. Kids watching, princes and princesses saving each other, get a wrong "fairy-tail" like impression of life, while this animation gives it a little bit of realism and vision, at least it's how I experienced it at an age of six. Please stop telling me that this animation is the reason for some irresponsible kids spraying poison in each other's faces. If someone is blaming this cartoon for some kids mindless behavior, u need to go to a psychologist for paranoia. Then hide your venomous cans and alcohol, next time u letting your kids play near that stuff. It got nothing to do with this animation.

Allow me to explain the premise to this 1989 animated movie. Willy is a little boy who is staying home from school because he's still sick with a flu. Feeling bored, Willy decides to use his imagination. He takes a toy gun and, pretending he's a cowboy, "shoots" at some sparrows. By "shoot" I mean he says "Bang, bang!". But Willy chose the wrong day to pretend to shoot at birds, because sitting on that bench happened to be...the Sparrow Guardian.

She is judge, jury and executioner for her own brand of sparrow justice, and she finds Willy to be guilty. She then breaks into the little boy's house and turns the boy into a sparrow. That is what you get for pretending to shoot at birds.

This movie is full of insane story beats like that, including: Drunk rats trying to sell beer as wisdom elixir. Birds fighting for leadership. The sparrow guardian meowing at a cat in a public park. A bird being turned into a man and forming a romance with the sparrow guardian. If this sounds like your kind of insanity, give this movie a watch...or else the sparrow guardian will come for you.

Hungarian cartoonist are word famous, but the excellent Hungarian cartoons are unfortunately little known abroad. Whereas there are many good short and long cartoons (Gusztav, Mezga Geza, Dr. Bubo, Ludas Matyi, Hugo, the hyppo etc.)

Vili, a veréb (Will, the sparrow) is one of the best, if not the best, among these. Vili, a ten years old "bad" boy is shooting to sparrows with airgun. A good fairy penalize him by metamorphosing him to a sparrow. He have many funny adventures with sparrows (eg. to learn flying). By the end of film he will be a good, animal loving kid.
