It was, hands down the greatest cinematic realization of a fairy tale in the live action form before the advent of digital. <br> Yes, that is quite a statement, but I would challenge anyone to find a live action childrens film that is as effective as this one before 1993. The year mentioned is the year of Jurassic Park, so after that, fantasy fell into the hands of Unix programmers. This film is a litterate, mythical, poetic, funny, parodic, and epic childrens fantasy. For the time in which it was made,it is unbeatable. And no, ET does not count, because it was clearly a science fiction film. Was this review helpful?

While a small town is under siege from the dreaded Turks, the H. Salt theatre company tries desperately to perform their rendition of the Adventures of Baron Munchausen. As if the impending siege were not enough, in comes the REAL Baron who sets about stopping the war, saving the town and setting the record straight with the help of his four gifted servants, his noble steed, Beucephalus and his faithful dog, Argus. An incredible piece of technocracy engineered and conceived as only Terry Gilliam could do it, with a sparkling performance by John Neville as the Baron, crazy Robin Williams, uncredited as the King of the Moon, and a most enchanting, wide-eyed Sarah Polley who tremendously supports Neville as little Sally Salt. SEE! Baron Munchausen fly to the MOON! SEE! The Baron and his friends fall through the World to the other side!! SEE! The Great Baltic Monster Fish!!! SEE! the King and Queen of the Moon lose their heads over each other!!!! SEE! The Baron CHEAT DEATH!, time and time AGAIN!!!!! OOOOH! What will become of the Baron?! Surely, this time, there is NO ESCAPE!!!!!! Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page | ||
