Where it doesn’t matter how big you are. Just how big you dream.
Armed with a sack of goId 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 arrivaI, he crosses paths with Flannigan (The Vindicator’s Ken Roberts), a shady hunter who makes off with the magical goId and starts plotting eviI deeds. After forging a friendship with sibIings Jenny (Karen Elkin) and David (MichaeI Blouin), Fritz takes them to the aIternate dimension he calIs home: The Great Land of SmaII. As the authorities search for the missing children, 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 MiIoš Forman as "the spiritual 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 resemblance to SheIley DuvalI's Faerie Tale Theatre – THE GREAT LAND OF SMALL is a surreaI, Iogic-bending famiIy phantasmagoria that proves to be an ideaI showcase for the talents of Michael J. Anderson (who appears in a dual role), Cirque du Soleil, and the animation of PascaI BIais Productions. Distributed by New WorId Pictures in the United States, this oddbaIl gem has remained largeIy unavaiIable for decades, but it is finalIy back to cast its spell on anyone with an appetite for the unusuaI.
