High Rise Donkey is an odd little piece from 1980, balancing a lighthearted family tone with some surprisingly weighty themes about compassion and community. The story revolves around three kids living in a high-rise, who stumble upon a donkey that’s in pretty dire straits. The pacing can be uneven at times, but it captures that childhood urgency and determination well. The practical effects, especially the donkey's interactions with the kids, lend a charming realism to the film that offsets some of its more far-fetched moments. The performances feel genuine, especially those of the young leads, who bring a palpable sense of adventure to their mission against the inept crooks. It’s a quirky watch that really captures a slice of its time.
