"Amazingly well-produced. The historic locations are jammed with character and detail. This is the only live-action movie I've seen that literally looks like pages out of a Heavy Metal magazine." - Chicago Sun-Times

"A cheerfully irreverent lark-- part fairy tale, part science fiction, and part comedy." - New York Times

"The film is resolutely, passionately antiadult, yet much of the humor has an adult sophistication and edge to it; this is one kids' movie that doesn't condescend." - Chicago Reader

A young boy joins a group of renegade dwarves on an unpredictable journey through time in this humorous fantasy. Monty Python animator Terry Gilliam mostly achieves a tricky balancing act, creating a dark, irreverent comedy disguised as a family adventure. Particularly amusing are the boy's encounters with various historical figures, including an entertainment-starved Napoleon, a powerful Agamemnon, and a surprisingly stiff Robin Hood.
