About David and the Magic Pearl
David, a boy who stays with his parents in a small cabin in a jungle, not only gets a reliable puppy named Pips for his birthday, but he also befriends a baby eagle who he names Sandy. They discover that a stereotypical boss, named Mr. Stealmore in the English version, is after a set of pearls which were to be kept safe by a group of aliens who landed in the jungle. Now, the trio have to band together and save the jungle from Mr. Stealmore, who has also plotted to bulldoze the jungle and build a city in its place.
Directed by Wiesław Zięba, David and the Magic Pearl leans on a strong ensemble — Ewa Kania, Ewa Złotowska, Jolanta Zykun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1988.
