[REL] Magic Journey to Africa (2010)

Apparently this one is not here already, at least I could not find it. It is from Spain but in English. I did not rip this one, and the resolution is a little weak.

It has been released on BluRay, and here is what Hi Def Digest had to say about it:

"Go ahead. Ask me what 'Magic Journey to Africa' is about. I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you. It has something to do with a girl who wants to find a small pickpocket who runs off to Africa (from Barcelona) on his bike. In Africa there are magical tribesmen, winged horses, talking animals, books that fall from the sky, and a whole load of other things that don't make sense, even in the context of "It's all in her imagination." Made for IMAX theaters as one of those 50 minute movies that places usually show for free to kids on field trips, 'Magic Journey to Africa' promises to provide a as close to an acid overdose as children are likely to get.
Jana (Eva Gerretsen) is the young girl in question. She spends her time dreaming up imaginary worlds that would scare any normal child. One day, while out to lunch with her parents, Jana sees Kabbo (Michael Van Wyk) a young African boy turned criminal. He's resorted to a life of pickpocketing because he has no other prospects in life. Jana soon finds Kabbo again, in a hospital. How she ends up finding him, or why she's so obsessed with him, isn't really clear. But this movie doesn't really bother with clarity.
Kabbo says something about magical trees and how Jana should talk to them if she wants to find him again. So, Kabbo sets off to Africa on his bike – apparently his hospitalization wasn't that serious if he has the ability to ride a bike from Spain to Africa. Jana finds that she can't stop thinking about him and soon sets off on an imaginary – but maybe not? – journey to find Kabbo in his native land.
She ends up running into all sorts of crudely animated computer-generated talking animals that explain the story without actually explaining anything."

The girl is cute but the story line leaves a little to be desired. It reminds me a bit of the Czech surrelistic type films.

Thanks, vidman49. Looks interesting. Glad it is in English - from the description it sounds confusing enough without language barriers thrown in.

I found a much better quality copy of Magic Journey to Africa (also twice as large). For those wanting the higher quality, here it is. I leave for Nepal on Thursday and will be gone for a little more than 2 weeks, so I will be down for that time, but will put it back up when I return. With the speed the last one downloaded, there should probably be enough time to get a complete copy on FLM before I leave - I have it on priority download and have unshared most everything else other than what I am currently downloading.
