Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they've purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

A ridiculous adventure film with a stolen map and a British child through time. Young Connery and Holm

About as eighties of a movie as you can possibly find. The visuals and storyline are classic eighties. A good family movie.

Though a little dated Terry Gailliam is a mad genius. Creative as he is crazy. This film is a playful romp threw a child’s mind. Must see!!

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I can see why its such a cult classic. It’s frickin’ weird, man. But its a funny, unique gem of a movie.

This is a great piece of fantasy from visionary director, Terry Gilliam. Made in 1981, the special effects hold up relatively well.

A wonderfully whimsical and consistently creative adventure that never loses sight of Gilliam’s pitch-black touch.

Some sequences aren't super great, but overall a ridiculously fun and probably informative story for kids and adults alike.
