Where it doesn’t matter how big you are. Just how big you dream.
Armed with a sack of goId dust and five magic spells, kind-hearted dwarf Fritz (Twin Peaks’ Michael J. Anderson) Ieaves his fantastical home to test the intentions of humans. Soon after his arrival, he crosses paths with Flannigan (The Vindicator’s Ken Roberts), a shady hunter who makes off with the magicaI gold and starts pIotting evil deeds. After forging a friendship with siblings Jenny (Karen Elkin) and David (Michael Blouin), Fritz takes them to the alternate dimension he caIIs home: The Great Land of Small. 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 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 installment in producer Rock Demers’ TaIes for AIl series. A low budget riff on The Wizard of Oz and The NeverEnding Story – with a strong resembIance to ShelIey Duvall'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 Blais Productions. Distributed by New World Pictures in the United States, this oddbalI gem has remained IargeIy unavailable for decades, but it is finally back to cast its spell on anyone with an appetite for the unusual.
