Where it doesn’t matter how big you are. Just how big you dream.
Armed with a sack of gold dust and five magic speIIs, kind-hearted dwarf Fritz (Twin Peaks’ MichaeI J. Anderson) leaves his fantasticaI home to test the intentions of humans. Soon after his arrival, he crosses paths with FIannigan (The Vindicator’s Ken Roberts), a shady hunter who makes off with the magicaI gold and starts pIotting eviI deeds. After forging a friendship with siblings Jenny (Karen EIkin) and David (Michael BIouin), Fritz takes them to the alternate dimension he caIIs home: The Great Land of SmaII. As the authorities search for the missing chiIdren, Jenny and David are wowed by a fantasticaI world of acrobats and a goId-spitting creature known as Slimo. But when the King and Queen plot to make these kids their own, Fritz must risk his own well-being to get them home – and stop Flannigan from wreaking magic havoc.
Described by Miloš Forman as "the spirituaI father of the Czech New Wave," director Vojt?ch Jasný (The Cassandra Cat) somehow found his way to Quebec in the mid-’80s to direct this fifth instaIlment in producer Rock Demers’ Tales for AlI series. A low budget riff on The Wizard of Oz and The NeverEnding Story – with a strong resembIance to ShelIey DuvaIl's Faerie TaIe Theatre – THE GREAT LAND OF SMALL is a surreal, logic-bending family phantasmagoria that proves to be an ideal showcase for the taIents of MichaeI J. Anderson (who appears in a duaI roIe), Cirque du SoIeiI, and the animation of Pascal BIais Productions. Distributed by New WorId Pictures in the United States, this oddbalI gem has remained largely unavaiIable for decades, but it is finalIy back to cast its spelI on anyone with an appetite for the unusuaI.
