| Description: | A young boy accidently joins a band of dwarves as they jump from time-period to time-period looking for treasure to steal. | Comments: | The best midget film I've ever seen. Why? Lots of reasons, because it includes all the best elements of midget exploitation (Ian Holm's Napoleon is priceless) but it also invests each little person character with a personality. The story is a Monty Python dream, one of Gilliam's best movies.... funny and sadistic. I saw it as a kid and loved it. What can I say? I truly wish there could be more movies like this. When I saw it as a kid, I must have been 5 or 6 years old. I seem to remember Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" being on the soundtrack, but when I tell anyone this they look at me like I'm crazy. Does anyone know if this was ever distributed in such a form (I know it's not impossible, because pop songs are often tastelessly added to films in America after production if the film isn't doing so well in the box office)? Recommended to everyone. |
