First this is a totally biased rating of 10/10, simply because I saw this film at such a young age and it stayed with long after I forgot the title. In fact if my father had not come into the room and remarked, 'That's Sean Connery's son," I probably would have never found it again.
The film starts with a boy being told a bedtime story and later that night having a nightmare about his parents dying in a car crash, which jolts him into action.
He runs into an elevator and there he descends into his own Oz. A dream world that looks like a pantomime set and that is populated with several different children's stories archetypes.
The film is a romance more than anything, but one for children and it operates on its own child-like logic. Some things happen just because they do and everything is exaggerated. The heart of it still lingers with me today and that ending, a dream you never want to end.
Probably not for everyone but I love it.
