Synopsis:

Wanting to know the ways of people, a pelican turns into a gawky young man who soon learns to speak, thanks to his outstanding talent in imitation. He befriends Emil and Elsa, two children who--unlike adults--see that their new neighbor 'Mr Berd' is not human but a big bird wearing a suit. The Pelican Man lands a job at the opera and falls in love with a pretty ballerina, looking so much like a bird herself. Troubles start when adults too find out about 'Mr Berd's' ornithological origin.

Kids' comedy 'Pelicanman' is a fable about a bird disguised as a man, who enters the life of an unhappy young boy whose parents have separated. Pic is custom-cut for an English-lingo remake -- provided a lead can be found who's as charmingly quirky and naturally birdlike as 'P-Man's' Kari Ketonen.
