Figure 1.-- The plot of "Thunderpants" seems focused at rather juvenile humor. An 11-year-old boy has an unmatched ability to break wind. He becomes famous, but winds up on death row, but finally helps him become an astronaut.

A HBC reader reports, "Looking through your site, particularly the section on school uniforms. I finished up at the section where school uniforms are depicted in movies. After looking through the movies you have listed, I realised that a new movie just released some months back, deserves a place in this section. The movie is called "Thunderpants" It looks like it is based on a comic strip, but is brought to life with real actors. It shows the typical English school uniform of blazer and shorts. It is based around a primary school age group, although, some of the students look old enough to be in high school." The cast included: Rupert Grint, Bruce Cook, Devon Anderson, Ned Beatty, and Nigel Betts. Rupert Grint is the the boy who plays Ronald Weasly in Harry Potter movies.
