SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Amateur movie with Big budget

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

i think this movie was shot in 3 days, and was made for about eight dollars and fifteen cents. it's loaded with plot holes, anachronisms and 10-14 year old kids delivering cliché, over the top lines that even most adults wouldn't attempt. Beyond that, whoever wrote in the 'street gangs" clearly has no idea what a gang is ... and probably hasn't ever been anywhere near a street either. if you truly loathe yourself and just need to inflict some pain. then watch this movie. however, if you at all value your sanity, and do NOT enjoy repeating the words 'this is the worst movie i've ever seen." then do yourself a favor and watch something... ANYTHING else.

I watched this movie awhile back. I had missed the first 30 minutes of it, but instantly fell in love with it.It was very charming and cute. And it had been the first time I really seen Jon Voight in a movie, besides Anaconda. Which he played a bad guy in. (Jonathan Hyde also stars in Anaconda and I feel he, like Jon, is a great actor.)I must admit this movie does have its spotlight of decency, but sometimes it falls in the category of, "Corny and childish." I'm a true child at heart, so I find this movie remarkable, others may not think so, this movie definitely isn't for everyone. Just those who actually like fairy tales, and toys coming alive, friendship and love. That's what it's really all about and I can relate to it in some way. It's a fantasy movie, nonetheless you have to have fun with it. Because that's all it is about -- fun. Out of 10 stars I give it 8. I recommend it to all the children at heart. This movie is truly heart warming! ///_~

A little boy dreams to life a toy tin soldier who just happens to love a ballerina toy.The tin soldier becomes somewhat of a father figure to the young boy.The climax of the movie pairs the soldier and the ballerina.If this is the best that Jon Voight can deliver (directs himself) then his career has fallen to the lowest depths.AVOID this one like the plague
