How I loved this movie.......2007-12-04
OK, I'm reviewing this movie with the last time I watched it being when I was a kid. And my thoughts are... it's still pretty good. In places, the effects work has dated terribly! In others, it exceeded my memory. Weird.
It's really more of a kid's movie, there's not much here for a mature viewer - unless you want to feed the child inside of you (I mean that in a metaphorical way, if you're pregnant, don't go feeding your unborn baby DVDs, they're not very nutritious!).
The movies biggest strength is the wide-eyed wonder of it all. The unashamedly fantastical nature of everything. It's not realistic, it's not believeable, but there is genuine magic to some of the concepts here, and they are all quite original.
Also, unlike most fantasy stories aimed at kids, this movie isn't afraid to confront you with some disturbing moments. One moment in particular, even watching this as a more mature viewer, is still desperately sad - but an undeniably potent piece of storytelling.
One of the '80s better fantasy films.
Same One Than The American Version.......2007-11-23
Warning, this movie last for 1 hour and 30 minutes (90 minutes) not 100 like the box says.
this is the american version of the film.
but it has a nice 5.1 mix sound.
