McDull is a male pig who can be distinguished by a birthmark on his
right eye. He has a heart of gold, but his brain is not very good.
He is an ordinary pig in every aspect, but he has lots of dreams.
Every time he tries, he fails; he is disappointed but tries again,
exploring other dreams. By this, he creates his own colourful
world. He lives his life simply and naturally. He is not perfect,
but his attitude towards life, namely of never giving up, makes him
a popular character.
Synopsis
The main theme of the movie is to show the whole life of McDull and
the love between him and his mother.
As in the comics, McDull is a piglet who lives with his mother,
Mrs. Mak, in Hong Kong. He is a kindergarten student. He has a
happy school life with his classmates including gooses, tortoises
and other pigs. McDull and his mum love each other very much.
McDull tries his best to make his mother proud of him and his
mother tries hard to give McDull a happy childhood.
In the movie, McDull wants to go to the Maldives. His mother cannot
afford a trip to there but she cheats him by taking him to the peak
by tram. The tram has a sign "Go to the Maldives". It makes McDull
very happy as he thinks that he can really go to the
Maldives.
After 'realizing' his dream, McDull sets another target to himself
to become an Olympic champion just like female windsurfer Lee Lai
Shan.
Although McDull is silly and always makes mistakes, this little pig
has the courage to face his failures; given the then economic
recession in Hong Kong, this is actually what Hong Kong people
nowadays need to learn. As a result, McDull is not merely a simple
cartoon character, but it is also a sign of hope and faith, of
never giving up in the face of adversity.
