Jay Russell continues his
string of successful family fare, following his previous film, My Dog Skip, with another charmer, and a film which also features the same composer, William Ross (Ladder 49), with some very good
music to
accompany the pleasant sights provided by Skip's cinematographer, James L. Carter (ZigZag, One False Move).
This visual festival is
accompanied by a lively and varied soundtrack, ranging from the soothing sound of guitar
strings being plucked to exhilarating and upbeat saxophone
music which would not misfit a Brazilian carnival.
