Wolfgang Petersen (<I>In the Line of Fire</I>) made his first English-language film with this 1984 fantasy about a boy (Barret Oliver) visualizing the stories of a book he's reading. The imagined tale involves another boy, a warrior (Noah Hathaway), and his efforts to save the empire of Fantasia from a nemesis called the Nothing. Whether or not the scenario sticks in the memory, what does linger are the unique effects, which are not quite like anything else. Plenty of good fairy-tale characters and memorable scenes, and the film even encourages kids to read. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews In our high-tech, unimaginative world, this movie reminds us of what truly matters - the need to keep fantasy alive! It's a wonderful lesson!
