The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

As a child I grew up with Budgie and his friends Pippa, Chuck & Lionel. I loved this show and still do even at the age of 15 :) I know that when I'm older and have kids I'll keep the video and let them watch it, it's such a good childhood memory that I have to pass it on to my children.A Little Helicopter named Budgie lives at Harefield Airfield, doing jobs and things that Helicopters do. Usually getting in trouble with Lionel, the head helicopter, Budgie has fun and with his friends Pippa, a little aeroplane, and Chuck, a loud American double rotor helicopter.Budgie hates having to go through the heliwash! Watch out! A great cartoon for young children, I love it, and I'm sure your children will too. 10/10
