I literally could not take my eyes off of the screen

"I'll put it to you like this. The movie plays out an excellent example of how we fear the things we know nothing about when we are face to face with them. You really have to pay close attention to whats going on with the characters and overall story to get the main idea. I know it will be difficult the first time through ;) Its eerie, intriguing, sad, amazing all wrapped up in one very well executed work of art. I have no doubt that my fellow open-minded peers will find this as creative and fun as I did."
Trippers outta the woodwork?!u betcha!

"I came upon this in the library and have since bought and given it several times. A combination of claymation and stop action, this is a magical world of strange creatures and laboratories, of tiny people you fall in love with, and evildoers who cannot win in the end. Imagine City of Lost Children, blended with a bit of the Popeye movie and Peewee's playhouse... it's absorbing and complex, taking you to worlds within worlds.And the soundtrack... noises, pings, music and mutterings, the soundtrack could stand on its own as an atmospheric soundscape.Why is this movie not known? See it."
The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb

"A true masterpiece. This film will stand out as one of the best animation features of all time. The director has made small figures come alive better than actors. The sound track is fantastic and the images you won't soon forget. This is a real treat for anyone who loves cinema!"
Stop-Motion Live-Action
Regent St. Claire | Santa Monica, CA | 09/04/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"A bizarre and engrossing mix of stop-motion live actors and claymation is used in this reworking of the old Tom Thumb story. This new Tom is created utilizing genetically engineered baby goo, and his clay self is born to normal but inept parents. Ominous men in black lurk in the grimy shadows, waiting to snatch young Tom, but the boy manages to find his way back to the lab where the mystery of his origins, and others like him, await."
