Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Almost Angels (released in the UK as Born to Sing and in Austria and Germany as Ein Gruss aus Wien) is a 1962 Disney film about a group of boys in the Vienna Boys' Choir. The main character is Tony Fiala, a working class boy whose father sees no future for him in music. Nevertheless, with the support of his mother, he successfully auditions and becomes a member of the choir. While in the choir Tony faces both academic challenges and the jealousy of one of the older boys, Peter, whose deepening voice is signalling the imminent end of his own choirboy career.While the lead characters were played by professional actors, many of the supporting child actors were actual members of the Vienna Boys Choir. The filming took place in the Augarten Palais, the surroundings of Vienna and some other places of the beautiful Austrian landscape. Not related to the Paul Hogan film Almost an Angel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Childish Pillow Fight

Childish Pillow Fight: The boys get involved in a pillow fight after hours, during a time when they are supposed to sleep. The choir director hears them, but waits outside the door for a few minutes before knocking on it, at which point all the boys scramble back into their beds before they go to sleep. The implication is that the director is tolerant of a certain degree of childish mischief, and was willing to let them have a bit of fun before getting them to stop so that they could get enough sleep. The pillow fight also fits in with one of the themes of the movie, which is that the choirboy may sing like angels but they still act much like ordinary children.
