(Blu-ray, Caprino Studios)
A cliff-dwelling inventor and his two feathered friends, Sonny and Lambert, enter a race against an ex-employee who has stolen his engine design. First, they have to build a car from scratch, which means getting financing from a wealthy Arab oil sheik. A year later and the car is ready, but unbeknownst to them it is sabotaged by the other racer. The finale is a fast and exciting grand prix race. This stop motion animated film from Norway is a classic in Scandinavia but virtually unknown elsewhere, which is a real shame. The attention to detail is incredible, every scene virtually overflowing with gadgets of some sort and populated by unique characters. Car nuts will love this movie. The Blu-ray available directly from Caprino Studios in Norway is spectacular in every way, featuring a new widescreen restoration and enhanced sound that blows away all previous versions.
