Tummy

About This Movie

Tummy is one of those curious little gems from '95 that you might stumble upon. It’s got this distinct blend of adventure and family themes wrapped in a jungle setting. The story follows a young boy who escapes an orphanage, setting off on a journey that’s both whimsical and a bit dark. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow, with moments of tension as the poachers close in. The practical effects for the magical creatures are charming, although they might not hold up by today’s standards, but there's something endearing about them. The bond formed between the boy and the younger creature really brings out the film's heart. It’s simple, but has a certain atmosphere that lingers.
