Bim Le Petit Ane (1951)

Director: Albert Lamorisse
Country: France

The real cinema is the one that MAKES YOU FEEL, the one that MOVES YOUR HEART through images no matter if you can't understand the language of it, and the one that takes you to the action, and that was the case when I saw this beautiful French film without subtitles because actually it is not available on DVD.


Bim Le Petit Ane is almost a silent film with little dialogue and voice over. It is a magnificent adventure-action film centered on Bim a baby donkey whose owner is a lovely poor kid named Abdallah who takes care of him until a rich miserable boy named Messaoud steals him. Bim then is mistreated, beaten and almost mutilated by Messaoud! (Jesus I screamed while looking at that scene!) while trying to retrieve him Abdallah is captured and imprisoned only to be released by Messaoud himself who has learnt that mistreating the baby donkey is wrong and cruel, by the time Abdullah escapes, Bim is stolen by some thieves who are decided to ship him and sell him away.

I felt very touched by this movie to the point of weeping a little because you can feel the friendship, the love and the magic among kids and their donkeys (which have beautiful and powerful eyes and are very noble creatures) things that adults lose in their lives. This is a little and beautiful masterpiece that deserves to be seen by millions of children around the world which sadly is full of Disney CGI-talking-animals with absolute NO SUSBTANCE.
