Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I think I wrote one just like this in kindergarten. Except in mine, the mysterious white horse didn't turn into a guy in a rubber suit with light up eyes. Fairly ridiculous plot... I had no idea it was supposed to be some kind of political statement. Seemed like a low budget B-movie to me. I guess this would be more effective on kids less than 6 years old.
