I loved this movie when I was a child. It was just so fantastical and lovely, and the main song just sticks in your head for days upon days. When I watched this movie recently (as in 10 years later), I saw how fine the animation was designed to be, and how well it was done in some areas. It's old, and the animation dosen't really compare to the computer graphics we have today, but it's CLASSIC. And although someof the actions are exaggerated in the movie, it's like opening my Hans Christian Anderson book, and seeing stories come to life.
So if you're a lover of fairy tales, or enjoy telling stories, this movie was MADE for you.

For anyone who has seen this movie, they know what I'm talking about. This movie is pretty good although there is exaggeration in some parts. Personally, I like the song. It has a nice beat, very medieval and it gives hope. It was made in Hungary and it won a prize. YES! When I first got this movie, people who came to my house always wanted to watch it and I got sick of it. Now I just watched for the first time in 3 years and it was good. Watch it! You'll like it! If you've seen it already, you must really think the goblin cat is the most hilarious thing in the movie.
This movie isn't the prettiest ever made, but my god what nostalgia.
I watched this movie when I was a kid myself and today I showed it to my daughter. She appeared to love it as well.
Love this movie so much. If only more present day animated movies were made like this.
As a non-Disney movie made in 1991 with 1/3 the budget of Alladin, it is a masterpiece. If you want to hate this movie you will find reasons to do so, but it is a really fun, sweet, and surprisingly conceptual for a child's film. I am uncertain whether today's 5 year-olds would enjoy such a dated presentation but it's worth a shot.
The animation is dated now and it was kind of dated back then. It came out in 1992 but I would believe anyone who said it came out in 1982. It's not bad animation, just not on par with Alladin but better than Jungle Book. I actually like the kind of watercolor backgrounds, it adds a dream-like quality.
The story is sweet, it is a kid's movie, and there are couple funny parts. The voice acting is for the most part quite good.
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid probably between 4 and 10 years old. The concepts and story are quirky. The characters are lovable to a fault, even some of the goblins.

It's great for a low budget animation. But any time I watched it, I got serious nightmares for a few days. And I wasn't even that young, I was like 11-12... I found it really scary, I felt more horror than any horror movie since then. But since I didn't find any review of that sorts, maybe I'm the only one who felt this way, although my brother felt similar that time.
