    This is the most 'me' movie, like xxxHOLiC, and I don't expect other people to like it, but several of them have - perhaps because it's more of comedy than La Planete sauvage, and has some of the kind of humour which appeals to practically anyone - even teenage boys used to all t...( read more)hat Adam Sandler crap have been enchanted by this. The conversion to widescreen is very well done, and even adds a more epic feel to some of the images, but other than that I think I would have much preferred it as a series rather than a movie. Only complaints are that the interval, while a good idea, is graphically clashing (though it could have been far worse) and that there's no ending to it - to see the children going back into their rooms, possibly with another song, would have made it absolutely perfect - though only if it had been made back in the 80's like the rest of it (I'm thankful that they didn't try to recreate the style now; the shift in visual clarity would have resulted in it ending on a rather uncomfortable note). So what I mean is, while everything that is there is perfect, I can't help thinking that it could have done with just that little extra bit of perfection, just to give it some much-needed closure. However, the fact that I love it more than anything else means that I couldn't not give it less than 5 stars.

    Very Entertaining. A couple kids get together with a man who has a magic computer that helps them to research ideas for their stories and then make those stories come to life with them as the main characters. Some good original little tales!! Charming!! All french with subtitles ...( read more)but still excellent for kids who don't know french but have a little imagination.
