Rating:  - dark but good
An unusual and remarkable mixture of claymation and stop-motion animation, this movie is a twisted take on the stories of Tom Thumb and Jack the Giant Killer. Pretty creepy--lots of insects, grimy back alleys, and a sinister science lab. A must for lovers of the genre or for anyone who admires Jan Svankmeyer.
Rating: - Simply weird
Possibly the strangest film ever made. This is extremely creative, but it has a nasty, violent undercurrent to it. I gave it 5 stars because it is a brilliant piece of work, but I actually didn't care for it. It was just too weird for me. There is hardly any talking at all in this film, which sometimes makes it hard to follow the storyline. Bugs seem to run rampant all over everything, and Tom looks like E.T.
But I do reccomend viewing this because you will not see anything like it.
Rating: - The Triumph of Tom
Rivetting claymation and stop-motion acting after the Svankmajer vision of animation. This is a total justification of the means employed to cast a grotesque view of Innocence abroad in a corrupt world. The corrupt world is peopled with freaks who totter and stutter about barely audible, and bereft of much other than appetites; sort of Max Beckmann animated. Mesmerizingly inventive; with Tom's world chock to the eyeballs with bugs and creepies plaguing a scape of compressed alleys and decrepit buildings. With a William Burroughs infested script, this is the antidote to Wallace and Gromit, if one were required. Highly recommended.
Rating: - trippers outta the woodwork?!u betcha!
this is not your mother's claymation I say! the tom thumb puppet is so darn insanely tripped-out you'll swear someone put something in your drink,but there will be not a single ramone in sight!this film is chock full of great animation,colors,music,and tells the story of a very lost and curious character!those who liked this or are into jan svankmager,the brothers quay,dr suess,etc will be amused and most pleasently horrified!!!
Rating: - The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb
A true masterpiece. This film will stand out as one of the best animation features of all time. The director has made small figures come alive better than actors. The sound track is fantastic and the images you won't soon forget. This is a real treat for anyone who loves cinema!
