Fantastic!
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Well, this film is certainly one of the best fairy tales released by Childhood Productions, but then again that isn't saying very much. This film is best seen solely for laughs, although you'de be hard-pressed to find it anywhere nowadays. The acting is typically dire, the plot is the usual bizarre pastiche of old fairy tales, and Tom Thumb keeps changing size. I saw it here in Britain a few days ago on a program which makes fun of B-Movies... I thought that it was quite funny, but I expect that in it's complete form it would be torture to watch. My Advice: See Snow White and Rose Red, another Childhood Productions classic.
