maybe not the most sophisticated film, but still a memorable one
28 April 2001 | by (Brisbane, Australia) – See all my reviews

It's been years since I've seen this film but I've always remembered it fondly. Maybe if I watched it now it wouldn't strike me as it did when I was a kid, but for a young child it was an exciting and wonderful experience. The characters are imaginative, the theme of the lead character who is a "fish out of water" (which is central to many children's films) here works well without seeming recycled, and the mystery at the heart of the film is compelling and unnerving without being too scary for the young. If you're an adult perhaps this film isn't for you, but kids should love it.
