The Thief Lord Movie Review. The children are led by a very mysterious boy called the thief lord. A tale about two young boys, prosper and bo, who flee to venice after being orphaned and dumped in the care of a cruel auntie.
The thief lord is an adequately charming little movie that goes broad with the humor and emotions. It was published in germany in 2000 and translated into english by oliver latsch in 2002 for the chicken house, a division of scholastic publishing company. The thief lord gets his name from the fact that he steals so that the others can survive.
“the thief lord” is a magical little story, lovingly and expertly crafted.
The children get a visit from the thief lord, scipio. The story is amazing and many of the characters remind me of my friends shenanigans. Little george mackay gets to be the weaselly sidekick to the thief lord, where he gets to do such fun things as headbutt the main butler from downton abbey in the stomach and call the villain a skanky ol.
