Les orphelins du bon Dieu

A very heart-warming story and I would love to see it again. I saw this movie about 20 years ago and its one of the few I never forgot.(having only seen it once).

It tells the story of two children who become best of friends and get up to all kinds of mischief, some we can probably relate to ourselves. My memories of the adult actors are vague but I always remember the two youngsters who had me engrossed as an 8 year old.

It teaches us about the true value of friendship and this is highlighted especially in a certain moment in the movie.

A great movie for kids and adults alike.

This is one of the best kept secrets regarding films I have ever seen. The story is a must for both children and adults alike and clearly and quite beautifully illustrates the brotherhood of mankind.

I urge all people to see this film, I saw the film when I was 7 and it's memory has never left me since.

I saw this movie in school of all places, when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I will never forget it. The adventurous story of these two boys takes you into places you normally don't see in a typical "kids" film. Sometimes scary, sometimes touching, it's very heartfelt and REAL. No schlock here. I'll always remember it.

I lived in Africa for many years as a child and was taken to this movie at an outdoor movie theatre at the Etosha Pan game reserve. I saw this movie under the title "A Lollipop".

This is truely a film to inspire racial harmony and love and could serve a tool to teach our young children to be more tolerant.

This film deserves far more credit than it ever received.

I saw this film about fifteen years ago and was overwhelmed by the enchanting fairytale story of a young child abandoned to the nuns and is raised by them in South Africa. He befriends a native child and they become inseparable. Add a fluffy puppy called Snowball and just allow yourself to watch. The film doesn't watch like a Disney film, the children are never precocious, when the adventures get serious, they aren't far-fetched. You see yourself doing those stupid things as a kid.

One accident brings the white child to America, and the native child journeys to visit him. The disastrous results of his arrival are spell-binding to watch unfold, as well as his rescue. Then New York is all theirs.

The film is so subtle, you don't realize it is Jose Ferrer and Karen Valentine in the movie. Even Bernadette Peter's song is gentle. Definitely watch this film if you are in a depressed mood. It will cheer you up. I would love to see it again, but believe it or not, I recorded Peter's song off on an audio cassette and still have it. What a charmer this film was.
