Little Virgil and Orla Frogsnapper
Gert Fredholm, Denmark, 1980
83 min.DK/FeatureChildren's films
The first film version of children's writer Ole Lund Kirkegaard's universe of baroque characters and events. Little Virgil lives in a henhouse with his best friend Oscar, a one-legged rooster. Virgil's worst enemy is Orla, the local bully-boy. When a circus comes to town, Virgil hires on as the Human Cannonball's apprentice. The role is a perfect fit, and ugly, evil Orla finally gets his comeuppance.
