There is more emphasis on the lead boy but the girls are important in this short based on a children's book, adapted again last year into a feature-length film. This short is also available at ulozto.net in a larger file of similar quality if you absolutely need direct download. In Dutch with NO subtitles, but easily understood.

This is a cute family-film. Sure, it's an old story and predictable but pretty good anyway.

And by the way, the kids aren't really ugly.

I knew you would rally to their defense!! And I agree.

I'm not sure if it is a flaw of the film that they did not work harder at uglifying the kids. All are in the normal range of appearance ... nothing like Eric Stoltz in Mask (1985). If they had done that, it could have been more powerful.

It should be noted that not all my pics show the persecuted "ugly" children; it also includes the normies, most of whom turn out in support of their unconventional-looking classmates. It is the intolerant adults who are the real enemies.
