A great live action adaptation of the novel!
Very cute movie. Pretty solid acting, and a plot that’ll keep you interested. Highly recommendable for little kids
Better than you might think. Is probably the peak of 90’s family-friendly chaos flicks
The visual effects are surprisingly good for the time. Seeing so many Harry Potter actors (Broadbent, Williams, Felton) is wonderful, too.
Don't remember it much but it's a family movie.
Ok film, I prefer “secret world of arrietty” because it’s a little less dated and cheesy.
Such an underrated but amazing adaptation of a classic story! One of those greats from the 90's that should be viewed every Easter or Xmas!
To this day, I still have no clue why I love this movie, but I do. Definitely better than most shit out there.
Meh. It was fine, but honestly going the comedy route wasn't the best move, imo.
Une curiosité qui tombe un peu dans l'oublie, mais qui m'a quand même marqué l'esprit. A voir. C'est très bien fait, même avec le temps.
