Conscious? No. Remember, this was made back-to-back with The Shrunken City, of which it is an oblique permutation, and every other Romanian-made Kushner-Locke kidvid which made use of shrunken people or alternate realities (that looked just like Bucharest) or both. They were in the habit of slopping any old half-baked fantasy concept onto a script and shoving it in from of the cameras.

Was this, do you suppose, a conscious tribute to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe with a magical, oppressed kingdom behind a cabinet door? Of course Lewis did it better, but it’s the same concept.

The premise of the movie is actually pretty good. It reminds me of an old Sylvia cartoon about setting up a miniature museum in your fridge or closet, or Joel’s sketch from Giant Gila monster, about having a malt shop in your laundry room.

Well, maybe. Like I said, there’s absolutely no discussion of how long the miniature nation has been there.

In other news, these people must clean their kitchen properly about as often as I do.

Well, Nathan, you can’t accuse me of not paying attention to your reviews: I read this one as far as Directed by David Schmoeller, Written by Benjamin Carr and shrieked with anticipatory horror.
