DVD - NEW and SEALED - NEVER PLAYED!! - PG-rated - 99-minutes - Colour - 1987-release - Family, Fantasy, Adventure - REGION ALL - PAL - Original Oz release A young boy named Bosse lives in misery with his cruel old aunt and uncle, until one night when he is whisked away to the magical land of Faraway. He finds that his real father is the king, and he is Prince Mio. Along with his new friend Jum-Jum, he sets out to defeat Kato and free the children that this evil knight has enslaved.I first saw this film when my mother bought it on VHS in a store... I think I was about seven. I loved it from the moment I first watched it, and even now, at nineteen, it's still one of my favourite movies.Now, I realize the effects aren't that great and the ADR is horrible - but as fairytales go, it's among the best. I found the plot to be better translated to film than that of The Neverending Story (which is one of my favourite books - but not one of my favourite movies), and the music is wonderful. Watching the movie was very reminiscent to reading The Chronicles of Narnia, or in fact reading a British translation of Astrid Lindgren's book.This is still my favourite of Christian Bale's many roles, and among my favorite Christopher Lee roles (the man has over 700, so it's hard to pick faves sometimes ^_^).A classic for children and families, I must say. (And coming from a cynical college student, that's saying something!)
