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.

This movie FREAKED ME THE HELL OUT as a kid. I mean, come on, his parents being barbecued? The guys coming out of your bedroom wall? Wow. Childhood trauma aside, it's a great movie. Classic Terry Gilliam.

Kind of a shame really, because I was hoping for a lot more. I didn't think this movie sucked, but it just really has some waves of interest. The sequence with Robin Hood was hillarious and great from start to end. But they you get into a sequence on a boat with beauty and the beast which is pretty boring. Here's a intro to a crazy funny villian, and then we get another boring scene on a boat. I really thought I'd be in for something awesome based on reviews and talk. I don't know where that came from. Was this just because of when it came out or something? Who knows. I'd just say give it a watch if you're super into Terry Gilliam, or if you are looking for something to fill the screen while you're doing your taxes.

What a wonderful, imaginative film. Just saw it for the first time but I can see it being a favorite amongst people that grew up watching it on TV. And an influence for filmmakers in the adventure/fantasy/animation genres.

I know 90+% of this movie went over my head as a kid, but I loved it, and have nothing but fond memories of it. Rewatching it now... Truly fun, the humor is great, it holds up (for the most part), and just a fun rewatch!
