Dawid i Sandy

I came across this video randomly.. I'm 18 now, but when I was 11 or so while on summer vacation my grampa picked up a couple videos from a bargain bin at some video rental store.. I can't believe he got me a movie so stupid..

The movie starts of with a really creepy intro with the main character (David) prancing around with his animal friends in what looks to be a circus, now I don't have a clue why they did this, you don't even know who the characters are yet.

This movie is so stupid, it's great, it's pretty much a requirement to be under the influence of some kind of drug while watching this, you won't be able to breath from laughter, the awkward animation will make you burst out laughing, there are parts where characters heads get huge and zoom into the camera and for no reason, usually when they're gasping, I guess to give it more effect... You don't have to be on something to find the movie funny but I can tell you it'll make the time spent watching it worthwhile.

Whoever drew the girls in this movie was a pervert, because they all have huge tits, and at one part when the hunter chick is being apprehended by mr. stealmore, if you pause and get to a certain frame there's a pantyshot, and her huge gazongas are still in the frame, nice for a kids movie. Her pet monkey looks and sounds like homer simpson.

The story doesn't really go anywhere, in the narration David mentions that he is from Chicago like 100 times, then he keeps saying how the jungle is so different than his "home back in chicago." It almost makes you think that this is just an episode in a series and you just want to see what's so great about his stupid apartment in chicago, but all you get is jungle. His parents give him a dog for his birthday, they either had to have brought the dog over on a plane in a kennel without the stupid kid somehow not noticing, or they must have bought him in Africa, yet they aren't staying at a hotel, they're in some random cabana in the middle of the jungle with no civilization to be found.

The dumbest part is probrably when he's in the underground temple, and a wall starts coming in at him like it's going to crush him. He starts whining and pissing his pants and closes his eyes, and for absolutely NO reason the wall goes back really fast. You can tell the writers have absolutely no creativity, that part made absolutely no sense and it really made me wish the wall just crushed the kid and the credits had rolled, but no, it keeps going on. I like how an E.T. statue is randomly in the hall of toys and toys to come. Why would a toy hall be in the hall of 1000 ancient secrets? It's like an aztec temple yet its in Africa, I don't think ancient africans had stone temples like this, the writers must have been really confused and probrably on drugs too.

If you see this movie I recommend getting it, and inebriating yourself in some way heavily before watching it.

David and the Magic Pearl I know was meant for little kids. But it was just plain bad in almost every respect. The animation was poor, the story was weird, and it was just kind of odd. David (Christine Cavanaugh) moves to an island jungle with his parents. David befriends the animals living on the island and decides to protect them from a hunter a named Fawn Doe. Fawn is working for an evil boss named Mr. Stealmore (Why don't you just name him Badperson Von Evil?) who wants to build a city on the island. First the animation is bad. It's really poor and it just doesn't look right. Also the sound mixing is obnoxious. It's just constant noise throughout. It never stops. It's just plain annoying. The one thing salvageable from it is the voice acting is actually all right. That's it. Nothing else in this movie is worthwhile.

David and his family move to live on a beach beside a jungle. In the jungle two groups are hunting. One group are tiny aliens, on earth to hunt for their magic pearls. The second group is a women hunter and her monkey sidekick, they are hunting and trapping animals in the jungle and also seeking to catch the aliens. Behind the scenes an evil property developer Mr Stealmore (wow - how subtle) has plans to strip the jungle of it's hidden treasure and to bulldoze it to build a city. Can David help to save the jungle?

Some animation is witty and clever with plenty for kids and adults. Some is terrible - cheap, nasty and poorly produced. Guess which type this is! The story here is quite basic - David the child saves all the animals and aliens in the jungle, confounding the criminals. The way it is told makes it even worse. The main narrative device is a very lazy - David does a voice over which goes a top speed and makes glib statements to keep the story moving. His voice is really annoying and will probably irritate children and adults.

The animation is big and colourful - mostly animals and adults with big eyes and heads. It is really lazy and is a million years away from Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes animation of the 50's! It's really hard to watch because it is so lazy and childish. The voices are poor - David is particularly annoying and his parents are just jokes. The rest of the characters are cute animals but, because they are poorly drawn, they have no personalities and could really be anything.

This plays like a lazy Saturday morning cartoon. It makes no effort in any area - story, characters, animation, anything! Avoid this and watch any other cartoon - even things like Rugrats and other kids things are better realised than this rubbish.

Having not seen this film in over ten years nearly 15 i was surpriced to be hit with a nostalgic explosion when i saw the picture of the front cover. When i was little i never knew the name of this film for some reason but i must have watched it a hundred times. I still remember the theme song!!! Enter this film with no brain whatsoever and come out after enjoying an innocent and fun film made for younger viewers and just for entertainment. From the good girl gone bad and the evil bad guy this film is a classic to me and a memory i will treasure. When your a kid you ignore the bad writing and animation but just watch it because its a cartoon and i liked it cos i thought the main character was called chuckie!!!! The bad guy at the end scared me as well when he was taken care off. and i do remember the E.T doll which was wieeeerd. And cant remember anything being said about chicago. This wasn't a review just memories in a paragraph. Im 19 now and mite check this film out again some day.

Watched this all the time as a kid. Got it as a gift from a Grandparent on videocassette. It was one of those things you could only find at something like a Big Lots or Odd Lots. The videocassette got thrown away years ago I'm sure.

Animation is cheap but I remember the voice acting now being terrible. It's a fun harmless kids movie involving Fern Gully environmental message while also throwing in Aliens that fly around in a egg carton and look like pearls.

I remember even as a kid that the animation was similar to Inspector Gadget commercial. The one piece of dialogue that sticks to me now even 30 years after last time I watched it is the one Poacher trying to pronounce "Packaderm 3 times and giving up and just saying "we captured a paka, packer, derm, We caught an elephant"
