Fond Memories, April 6, 2003
I first saw the Great Land of Small when I was a very small person myself. It is one of those timeless classics that people get all misty eyed to remember. It's about a land of 'small' people, and occasionally they are allowed to visit our world by riding over a rainbow, which temporarily links the two worlds. One unlucky chap gets left behind, you all know how fickle rainbows can be, and becomes fast friends with a few earthen children. Everyone shares a grand adventure as they try and return the little fellow back to his homeland. It's a truly wonderful children's movie that even adults will find charming.

Us Canadians really have a way with making movies!, August 30, 2002
This review is from: The Great Land of Small [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A historic film in my mind and life, THE GREAT LAND OF SMALL sends children
and adults this message: "It doesn't matter how big you are, just how big you dream!"
If I could, I would rate this 4 and a half stars out of 5! There is only one thing negative
about this amazing movie, which will be explained as we go deeper into this review.
New Yorkers, Jenny and David travel with their mother to Québec to visit their grandparents
on their farmland. While exploring the grounds one day, Jenny and David come across a
magical looking rainbow and begin searching for the end. On their search for the end of the
rainbow, they come across a little man named Fritz who soon becomes the childrens' best
friend. Fritz tells Jenny and David that he comes from a world beyond the one they live in
called the Great Land of Small. He tells the tale of how he lost his bag of gold to a man named Flannigan who runs his own bar. Now, Jenny and David must journey with Fritz to
the other side of the rainbow to the Land of Small and tell the King and Queen the terrible
news. Together, the real world and the Land of Small will fight to save the bag of gold that
truly belongs to people who dream!
The bad thing is about this movie, is that you only get to see the wonderful world for a short
while and then we are transported back to the real world. However, even the real world seems like a wonderful place. Canada, which is the country I live in, is one heck of a place
to live in and like I said in the title, we really have a way with making movies!

This was the children's movie I was looking for, but the condition was not as described for a used tape supposed to be in excellent condition. The tape was damaged and could not see complete movie.
