I love this film! I saw it when I was a boy, and loved it then, and it's one of onl a handful of films that I've been able to go back to as an adult and still be able to enjoy it! I loved David Bowie's music for the film, and it also has the beautiful Jennier Connolly to recommend it! Ludo is just such a loveable character, and kids will adore him! Sir Didymus borders on being a bit of a Jar-Jar Binks character, but manages to be more likeable than annoying! It's got a bit of a "Wizard of Oz" vibe to it (was it real, or all in her head?), but I think this film is still well worth a look, and I think this is truly a family film, ie adults will enjoy it as much as kids! And a wee bit of trivia for you, too...: The choreography was done by Gates McFadden, Beverly Crusher in Star Trek TNG, and two of the fire demons were Danny John-Jules (Cat in Red Dwarf), and Charles Augins, who appeared as Queeg in the episode of the same name in Red Dwarf! Pointless, but true!
