What makes it different from others?
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Great movie. Don't let the forces of evil steal your precious time. As a child I read the book by Michael Ende.
This is one great movie, one that Disney or any other US producer would never make. It teaches about the importance of real values, like friendship, and against hypocrisy. It teaches the value of learning to spend the time with people we love, enjoy life, and in general lead it rather than being lead by who wants to impose on us what is right and wrong. Try everything to get your hands on a copy (they do have a DVD with English track), and watch it if you can.
