Overview

Young history buff Kevin can scarcely believe it when six dwarfs emerge from his closet one night. Former employees of the Supreme Being, they’ve purloined a map charting all of the holes in the fabric of time and are using it to steal treasures from different historical eras. Taking Kevin with them, they variously drop in on Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon before the Supreme Being catches up with them.

Viewing Notes

This was a family watch with the kids. We thought they’d enjoy it, and they ended up liking it a lot.

The DVD, from Netflix, is pretty crappy, despite being a Criterion Collection disc, mainly because it’s so old it’s made for 4X3 TVs, which means it was a floating widescreen window. So sad.

We still enjoyed it a lot and plan on watching The Adventures of Baron Munchausen sometime soon.
