The Indian In The Cupboard [1995]

Description

Product Description When nine-year-old Omri is given an old cupboard and a tiny plastic Indian for his birthday it turns out to be the start of a fantastic adventure. He puts the Indian in a cupboard and discovers the cupboard has the power to bring the figure to life. Experimenting further, he decides to bring to life a cowboy for his best friend Patrick, but it remains to be seen whether the cowboy and the Indian can co-exist peacefully. From .co.uk Young Hal Scardino stars as a sensitive boy who discovers a way to bring plastic toys to life in a locked cupboard. One of those toys, a 19th-century Iroquois warrior (played by actor Litefoot), was actually a real warrior now only several inches tall. A bond eventually develops between boy and warrior, and a six-shooting toy cowboy (David Keith). As with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which is written by E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child. But director Frank Oz (In & Out) has made the film far too stiff and dramatically flat to get across the enchantment necessary to make the fantasy work. Watching this is like listening to someone who can't tell a good story to save his life, yet who is trying to captivate your attention and heart. --Tom Keogh P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Back Cover The Indian in the Cupboard is the touching tale of nine-year-old Omri who magically brings his three-inch toy Indian Little Bear to life.
