A Heartwarming Tale of Friendship and Courage
A Heartwarming Tale of Friendship and Courage
Imagine a small Aussie town, facing a severe drought. Only two best friends can fix it. Annie Shearer and Runt can. In Upson Downs, Earl Robert Barron has stolen all the water from the rest of the town and has made a dam for himself. Other townsfolk have been left to fend for themselves, and some move out of town. Annie and Runt have to win The Crumpets Dog Show to pay the over draft on the over draft. But Runt used to be a stray dog, hated by the majority of the town. So, finding Annie was very special to him and now all Runt wants to see is Annie. Before Annie and Runt can win the prize, Runt must get over his fear of people. Can Runt win? You will have to read the book or watch the movie to find out!
After reading and studying the Craig Silvey novel earlier in the year, the Year 5 classes were lucky enough to be some of the first people to see the movie “Runt” in cinemas at the end of Term 3. The four classes walked to the Palace East End cinemas and had a whole cinema to themselves to enjoy this new Aussie classic feel good films. We recommend the movie for ages 8+. Five stars!
