Product Description
A nine-year-old boy gets a plastic Indian and a cupboard for his birthday and finds himself involved in adventure when the Indian comes to life and be
Amazon.com
Young Hal Scardino stars as a sensitive boy who discovers a way to bring plastic toys to life in a locked cupboard. One of those toys, a 19th-century Iroquois warrior (played by actor Litefoot), was actually a real warrior now only several inches tall. A bond eventually develops between boy and warrior, and a six-shooting toy cowboy (David Keith). As with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which was written by E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child. But director Frank Oz (In & Out) has made the film far too stiff and dramatically flat to get across the enchantment necessary to make the fantasy work. Watching this is like listening to someone who can't tell a good story to save his life, yet who is trying to captivate your attention and heart. --Tom Keogh

This is a great movie for young and old alike. There is a great lesson to be learned by watching this movie.
Rent it if you can or make the purchase, to me it is worth every minute of veiwing.
 Mostly OK for tweens May 31, 2010
LAUNA STOUT- CraftsForKids.BellaOnline (California, USA)
I loved the book and had read it to my kids so we decided to watch the movie. It started like it was going to be a good portrayal of the book but there was a few scenes that were inappropriate. The scene where the boys and the two now-alive toys- the Indian and the cowboy, were watching the risque television show. Totally didn't need to be there, it did not add to the show at all! I thought Patrick was rather a bully type and not much of a friend as he was in the book, so that was a bit of a disappointment. The main character was perfect for the show, he was so believable and so real, there was no Hollywood perfectness about him and that was refreshing.

I love this movie. This is something every child wished for when they were younger. It's a really cute movie and the guy who plays the Iroquois is HOT!!!
Great Movie! February 24, 2010
Nicholas Erwin (Waterbury, VT)
Theres not a whole lot to say, but it's a good movie! I haven't seen this moving since when I was a kid. I enjoy watching it, very funny at times and very sad at times. But it has good meaning ad is just a great family movie to watch around a fire or a raining day.
The only problem I didn't like, is the audio quality wasn't 5.1, which was a bummer. But through it on 2.1.
