Young Hal Scardino stars as a sensitive boy who discovers a way to bring plastic toys to life in a locked cupboard. One of those toys, a 19th-century Iroquois warrior (played by actor Litefoot), was actually a real warrior now only several inches tall. A bond eventually develops between boy and warrior, and a six-shooting toy cowboy (David Keith). As with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which was written by E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child. But director Frank Oz (In & Out) has made the film far too stiff and dramatically flat to get across the enchantment necessary to make the fantasy work. Watching this is like listening to someone who can't tell a good story to save his life, yet who is trying to captivate your attention and heart. --Tom Keogh

 Great Movie! February 24, 2010
Nicholas Erwin (Waterbury, VT)
Theres not a whole lot to say, but it's a good movie! I haven't seen this moving since when I was a kid. I enjoy watching it, very funny at times and very sad at times. But it has good meaning ad is just a great family movie to watch around a fire or a raining day.
The only problem I didn't like, is the audio quality wasn't 5.1, which was a bummer. But through it on 2.1.
Excellent Family Movie January 12, 2010
Bargain Hunter (Hawaii)
I bought this DVD for my two children (8 and 5) as a Christmas present. They absolutely loved it--couldn't take their eyes off of it and actually sat through the entire movie! The price was a bargain; I received it promptly and I'm sure we'll be watching it over and over.

 Not the Book, But Good Enough for Entertainment Including Motley Crue June 30, 2009
jadecrayon (Utah, USA)

Beautiful soundtrack accompanies this film and brings to life the magic of the Indian in the Cupboard. Children, unlike adults, will not notice the stilted acting as they will be so caught up with the thought of the power of the cupboard and seeing a beloved book on screen.
Two things that caught me by surprise were Motley Crue's music video of Girls, Girls, Girls added to the TV watching scene where Little Bear shoots Boone in the heat of the "cowboy and Indian" battle. I'm sure it was meant to contrast Omri's era with the era from which the tiny men came, but I wish they had used a different clip because it made it so I couldn't show it to my class. The other small difference was that the setting was in America as opposed to England, but that's a detail that can be overlooked.
Overall, children will find it an enjoyable portrayal of the book and will allow you to discuss and compare differences and similarities between literature and film.
