Entertainment Reviews:
...The movie's as perversely entertaining as it ever was...
Total Film
It's a strange and weird and wonderful mix of boy's own adventure, Python-esque humor, and grim irony, all wrapped in tall tales, ancient myths, and historical figures.

Parallax View
Terry Gilliam has crafted a story so full of illusions that continuously surprise the audience. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
The film lacks what Garland, Lahr, Haley, Bolger, et al, had in abundance: humanity and charm.

Rating: 3/4 --
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 Heavy Metal magazine.

...A cheerfully irreverent lark -- part fairy tale, part science fiction, part comedy...
New York Times
When you can count the laughs in a comedy on the fingers of one hand, it isn't so funny.

Product Description:
Plunging headfirst into history, director Terry Gilliam fearlessly brings the logic of children's fairy tales to bear as he navigates through myth and legend in a bizarre, ingenious retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. A boy and six good-natured little persons careen through time-twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself. The result is an extraordinarily visual extravaganza that overflows with Gilliam's ecstatic vision. The film is shot from a child's viewpoint, both through the character of Kevin and the placement of the camera. One of the morals of this thoroughly enjoyable, charming fantasy is that heroes aren't always all they're cracked up to be. Fun special effects and great supporting performances abound, including terrific turns by Ian Holm, John Cleese, Ralph Richardson, and especially David Warner as Evil.
