Yuku En De Himalayabloem (5+)
Animated musical film about the quest of Yuku, the eldest child from a large mouse family, for the eternally luminous Himalayan flower.
Yuku, a small and playful mouse, lives with her family in the basement of a castle where the hungry cat is always lurking. As the eldest child, Yuku must guard the food supply, but she would much rather listen to her grandmother’s wonderful stories. When the end of Grandma’s life approaches, it is time for Yuku’s own story: the search for the eternally luminous Himalayan flower, which Grandma can take with her on her ‘last journey’. Using her ukulele as a weapon, Yuku sets off on a musical journey where she meets a big rat, a crow, a rabbit, a squirrel and a fox, among others. Packed with catchy rhymes set to music and charming, colourful characters, YUKU AND THE HIMALAYABLOEM is an ode to the power of stories. The film won the Cinekid Lion for best children’s film at the Cinekid Festival.
