‘Pil’s Adventures’ is fun for the whole family
Category: Television and Streaming
Streaming on HULU is a cute animated movie called Pil’s Adventures. Produced in 2021, this is the story of a cute and cunning little orphan girl who has made a pretty nice life for herself on top of a turret, along with some furry friends. They work together to procure food from the village all the while trying to evade Graubart, a wannabe knight who feels it is duty to keep the village safe.
Pil is befriended by a court jester named Giggler who is a bumbling fellow with a sock puppet for his friend, and for his act. He’s actually a great ventriloquist but people don’t appreciate his talent.
When Pil overhears something about a hidden treasure in the kingdom, she is ready to do whatever it takes to get that for herself. She also finds herself, and her furry companions, smack dab in the middle of a plot to kill the prince who is going to have his coronation to be elevated from Prince to King. One thing leads to another and soon Pil makes a deal with the prince who has been turned into an animal – actually a chick-cat, half chicken and half cat – that she will help him get his body back if he gives her the treasure.
It’s not as easy as she thinks. She dresses as a princess and introduces herself as such, so Graubart thinks she is in fact a princess and not the “sprite” he has been hoping to catch to rid the village of this dirty little girl. Soon Pil, her little furry pals, Giggler, and Graubart are off to save the prince.
Pil is a fun-loving, spunky girl with determination and wisdom. She has managed to keep herself alive for a long time without any help of others. When she joins with her new friends to help the prince, she finds that working alone is not always the answer.
Pil is a fun character and viewers will be hoping for a happy ending for this little girl. Will she get it or will she return to her lonely life on top of a turret?
Pil’s Adventures is a cute film for the entire family. It is rated PG for violence, peril, and rude humor (typical of action/adventures).
