People Soup
US (1969): Short
This kid-friendly fantasy was written and directed by Alan Arkin. His original story in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, "People Soup", was a cute fantasy about a boy and girl who start experimenting with various kitchen ingredients, eventually creating a soup which enables them to turn into various animals and objects. After he became an established actor, Arkin decided to film his own
magazine story. People Soup is a faithful adaptation of the original story, with the girl changed into another boy so that Arkin's two young sons, Adam and Matthew, can play the experimenters. Here's a movie that adults and kids can enjoy together. (F Gwynplaine MacIntyre, IMDb)
