80s Nostalgia
The boy Who Lost His Laugh.
Wow any 20-something or 30-something Brits remember this gem? Badly dubbed tale of the Ayrian boy who sold his laugh to a rich and powerful german businessman-type? Lots of Disney-esque escapades featuring clumbsy, stupid adults being out-witted by plucky, smiley children. Good family fun. Except for the ending. Boy gets laugh back and annexes Poland in retaliation. Millions killed as German war-machine is mobilised once more. Haimat! Haimat! Erm, sorry. Can't help myself sometime. British y'know. Xenophobia is my birthright...
