I was 16 or 17 years old when this was first shown on telly. I remember at the time thinking, "Grow up man, you shouldn't be watching kids stuff!" But this is much much more than just 'kids stuff' this is pure magic, the sort of telly rarely (if ever!?) seen nowadays.
Wonderful attention to detail, great voice cast, outstanding stop motion animation, intensely detailed and beautifully made costumes and sets, and to top it off, a great story set in a fantastically dark and archaic little world within a (human) world. This has drama, humour, horror, tension, action and thrills. Everything a kid (or big kid!) could possibly want.
I'm 31 now and still think this is pure class. As much as I enjoy Wallace And Grommit and the like, this tops the lot! Criminally forgotten, and to add insult to injury this has NEVER been made available on DVD!? :(
Scandalous I tell you!
If you see it, buy it! Even if you have to buy a VHS recorder to view it. It really is that good ;)

Sorry, but this is a putrid childish mess. No plot to speak of and no laughs to be had (considering it's SUPPOSED to be a comedy) On the plus side, the overall look of the film is very professional. As a low budget horror this could have been very very good, what possessed them to do comedy is beyond me!?
In my opinion comedy is quite hard to do right, as its a very subjective thing. Also, not everyone can do comedy (These lot especially!) The producers of this shot themselves in the foot if you ask me!
Take my advice, you lot obviously have talent, but please DO a horror film!
