With #Michael (2026) now confirmed to be a box office success, with the biggest opening of all time for a musical biopic.

I see that SBS World Movies is showing the 2014 movie The Crow's Egg again, this afternoon as well as early tomorrow morning and again Thursday afternoon.

If you haven't seen it, please take this as a strong recommendation to do so! I give this movie a 9/10, it's beautiful and funny and meaningful and the child actors are wonderful little brats.

Also streaming on SBS On Demand.
