4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and a great glimpse of Christmas in the Netherlands, November 25, 2009

This review is from: Winky's Horse (DVD)
Watched this movie yesterday with my 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter. They really enjoyed it. It takes place in the Netherlands at Christmas time, so one learns a lot about St. Nicholas (the Dutch version of Santa Claus). It also shows how difficult it can be for a child to adapt from one culture to another (the title character, Winky, is a little girl who has recently moved from China to the Netherlands.) I would recommend the movie, although the dubbing of the English language is a bit awkward. Still a good film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely film: great for ages 4 and up, September 26, 2011
This review is from: Winky's Horse (DVD)
Lovely movie for kids. The kind of film that's very hard to find in the United States: calm, interesting, with a great protagonist and a story that doesn't talk down to children.

One thing I find disconcerting and strange is that the girl on the front cover of the English version of this DVD is not Winky but her best friend. Did they think that putting a Chinese actor on the front would somehow sell less movies? Very odd that the main character, who is in almost every scene, is not the one on the cover.
