even though i rat this plucky movie a 4 and it doesn not mean i hate it and my dear friend . i like it but it doesn not have the stuff to make it to my high favoritism of movie . frank oz be so imaginative ( yoda and miss piggy . love them . ) and but i have to say that this film to me be not so frank oz and and movie that be adapt from book be quite impressive and but i can only say i be slightly impressed . for one thing and the cast be inadequate and i never heard of david keith and litefoot ( david coogan and however and be in around the world in 80 day ) . this story follow omri and an extremely childish youngster who and for his birthday and receive a magical ( ooh . ) cupboard . the cupboard lack it key so omri mother ( actress lindsay crouse and never heard of her ) and give him her collection of key and and guess what . he find the certain key on his second try . that part always take me aback . he put in an antique iroquois figure in the cupboard and and later in the morning he open it to find the figure alive a a small iroquois man . the pair have many tedious adventure and some include an idiotic rat ball and a down right scruffy cowboy who be a toy figure too ( the cupboard magically ( ooh . ) turn plastic ( plaz teck . ) thing into their real life counterpart and only small ) . the pair soon learn that every boy must become a man ( a typical and yet true moral ) . omri character really be childish and yet endear while his parent seem to pamper him and he afraid of the dark and and he have lame 90 action figure while but he do mellow out in the end of the movie . i like the acting and but it be no to kill a mocking bird and even at move part . the iroquois man be different from other indian movie while he be a guru in a way . the music be just moderate and odd and though with one exception you will know when you hear it . be warn and my dear reader and this movie contain slight profanity ( embarrass really ) while simulative killing and some lady do a loathsome dance on tv at one point ( they call this a kid movie and how embarrassing . let hope omri be sleep at that adultish scene ) . and no the kid do not play god ( duh and no one can play the lord almighty and my foolish friend ) and it just a story and have fun . other than the 3 point i point out and the movie be plucky and it have a rather move end . it an okay movie > represent ) .
