Jack's A Random and frantic, but magical and beautifully-animated with catchy songs and a fun (albeit convoluted) story make this extremely obscure stop-motion gem enjoyable to the end! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a very different take on a classic Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Etrange vision du ballet mondialement connu grĂƒÂ¢ce ĂƒÂ  sa music de Tchaikovsky mais ici mlheureusement, elle reste trĂƒÂ¨s discrĂƒÂ¨te voir absente ĂƒÂ  part certains thĂƒÂ¨mes. Un joli conte pour enfant mais sans plus, cela magrĂƒÂ© la narration de Christopher Lee. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember seeing this movie when I was like five years old. It's been stuck in my head ever since. I remember being extremely disturbed by the ragman. He was one of the creepiest images of my childhood. I wish I could see it again. There's nothing like a good twisted claymation movie. If you're a fan than you may also want to check out "The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the scariest films every made. Excellent, great music, very 80s. I don't even like claymation, but I loved this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Not only is this movie sick, but it's not even made well (of course, I think most stop-motion and claymation looks clunky anyway). And yes, the Ragman freaked me out for forever as a kid, and I never heard the narration, so I thought he just came in and killed the child. (Watching the opening just a few days ago on YouTube without sound brought all those paranoid feelings rushing back until I heard the audio; now it's just goofy.) For years I thought, how could they put that in a kid's movie? And why would the Disney Channel show it? Why would Rankin/Bass put out something so horrible?? Come to find out it was Sanrio, who also brought us the equally sick, but well-meaning THE MOUSE AND HIS CHILD. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a teensy bit curious to see this in the supposed 2.35 aspect ratio it was supposedly filmed in, but I'm sure that feeling will deplete in the first few minutes, like most viewers' interest with the movie in general.
