I was born in the 80's and watched this movie at around age 5. I can still remember the clips like I just saw it yesterday. A very memorable story indeed.

Hi,
I saw this movie way back in 1985 in India. I have been trying to buy the DVD ever since, without success. I live in New York and unfortunately there seems to be no availability in the US. I came across this website selling only PAL copies (not NTSC or universal). FYI - if anyone's interested:

Its so true, this novel is so touching and close to my heart, its all about friendship...a reality. This book back in 1992 in one way or the other touched my heart which influenced on my life too. I am thankful to the author for wonderful effort.

I remember this so well from primary school. The story has never left me, nor the images and I have thought of it over the years - I'd love to see it released on television for today's kids to enjoy

A very challenging story. Can we used the video to our class so that the students could have a clear picture of the story?

I was 14 yrs when this book was used in school as a Literature Novel and from that day on I loved the novel so much. Back in School after finishing the Novel we were shown the film "the Silent One" Till today I hold this book as a special memory and kept it with me for so long never to part with it. Its one of the famous book in schools back home in Fiji Islands. totally adored the movie. The book touches my heart.
