Plots(1)
Mitcho and Sebastian are tickled when they fish a message in a bottle out of the sea. Inside the two find a letter from JB, the vanished Mayor of Solby, and a seed that grows into a giant pear overnight. After fleeting trials and tribulations, the huge piece of fruit is repurposed as a sailboat. Soon, anxious Sebastian, hydrophobic Mitcho and mad Professor Glykose take to the open sea, setting their course for a mysterious spot where they suspect JB might be found. Alas, the fact that no one has ever returned from their island destination is more than a bit foreboding. This fast-paced animated adventure brilliantly captures the rich imagination and humour of the beloved children’s book by Danish author Jakob Martin Strid upon which it is based. (Berlinale)
