    The New York Times: “…and overt racism, plus a completely out-of-character and out-of-sequence clip of the Hindenburg disaster is nothing less than jarring. Voice actors change mid-scene and rarely match up with the frame-a-second animation which would have been insultingly inadequate even if it were complete. The movie as a whole is as surreal, disjointed and jarring as anything Lynch or Pollock have created, but unlike them it does so without purpose, direction of even, apparently, intention. The creative errors and technical mistakes that alternately dominate the production conspire to comprehensively obliterate the maker’s promise of a film both heartwarming and whimsical.”

    Box art designer: “…whimsical.”

    Edit: I’ve never seen the film. I just hate it when they do this.

    My little sister watched this movie on repeat for a solid six months. I can’t remember if it was any good because I was so angry by the end.

      Same! I think I only saw the movie through once, if that. I remember the artwork and nothing else.

    Oddly yes, scene where the kids are stomping on toes while a goblin yells “hurt them hurt them!”
