Rating:  - What's going on here?
I own more than 2500 DVDs that are about children, for children or movies that are appropriate for children and teens. This is the strangest one of all. The cover says it is a 90-minute movie about a boy being bullied by some kids in his Los Angeles neighborhood. It says the actors are: Trenton Knight, Jon Voight, Ally Sheedy, Dom DeLuise, Bethany Richards, Directors: Jon Voight, Gregory Gieras.
Instead, what you get is a 47 minute diologue-less ballet that is narrated by Sally Struthers. ... Read More
Rating:  - A Pretty Good Family Movie
I watched this because Jon Voight was in it; I had no idea what it would be about. And Voight is, as usual, fun to watch in this story about a boy who has no father, and has to deal with gangs, a crush on a pretty classmate, and a tendency to feel sorry for himself, and who gets some help in those areas from a lively knight (Voight) that nobody but the boy can see.
It was sweet without being syrupy.
Rating: - Little Girls' Dance Dream
If your daughter loves dance and fairy tale romance, this is the tape for her. The colors of sets and costumes are bright, colorful and engaging. There is no dialogue, however Sally Struthers narrates the story while non-stop ballet sequences portray the action. Light drama while the toy soldier finds his way back to the toy room from the sewer. My eight and ten year old daughters both enjoy this film, and have insisted on renting it more than once.
Rating: - A serious attempt to update an old classic
This family move has many delightful and thoughtful moments and will leave an impact on your kids but feels sometimes slow in the storytelling and pacing. Jon Voight does a good job directing and I am curious if there will be more to come. If you are looking for a family movie without tons of special effects and more dialog based addressing serious problems ( violence, gangs, mother-son relationship) this would be the right film for you.
