PERCY THE PORCUPINE'S FILMS TO SEE

By: Kenji

“I must get to see more of the world myself” muttered Percy the Porcupine, after waving farewell to his intrepid friend Albert the Aardvark who had just sailed away in a hot air balloon. “The trouble is, i’m scared of heights, and i’m sure i’d get seasick if i stowed away on a ship. By land there are so many savage beasts en route. And in the world of men, there are those monstrous creatures called motorcars. I do hope my little Porcupet nephew overseas is being well looked after since my dear sis got run over. Poor Albert will no doubt end up frazzled by the sun, or crashing into shark infested waters. So i wonder what sort of things they’re showing at the local flicks these days. Or maybe i can get to see some by post?” Far from disconcerted by his relative lack of adventurous spirit, he congratulated himself on his good sense and enjoyed a satisfying mix of reassurance and wonderment at forthcoming discoveries. That evening, looking out of his window as the moon rose behind Kilimanjaro, and warmed by his favourite cocoa and rum toddy, he mused contented musings; “Now, should i start with the Philippines, or maybe closer to home?”. Drifting off to dreamland, his quills were still a-quiver.


(what Percy didn’t know; seems like the porcupet nephew was in good hands)


The Organizer

—
update: Percy the Porcupine came back down to earth safe and sound having dared to fly in a balloon after all, after weeks of enduring the good-natured goading of his chums Heri the hyrax and Mwaka the Meerkat. And Percy has made a resolution to catch up with lots of the must-see films listed in 2012

Well of course Percy is interested in things African too, and while waiting to get the chance to see it, he's taking a short balloon flight next Tuesday evening.

well i only wish i could get to see them. My multi-region dvd is on the blink, i'm on region 2 only at present, but if you know of any links or sites for seeing any of them that would be fantastic. I've booked a short balloon flight in May, really looking forward to it, i've fancied that ever since i read Babar as a kid- he and Celeste fly off over the sea on honeymoon.
