I just watched this for the very first time and I can't believe I overlooked it for this long! I love little fantasy films, and this was a really good one. The film has a very magical, child-like innocence about it that made me recall the days when I would hang out with friends playing in my room.
The kid who played 'Omri' (Hal Scardino) is a very unique looking kid, not the usual kind you see in these film's, and the guy who played the indian 'Little Bear' (Litefoot) was great, very believable in his role of a real human being who is snatched from his own time and thrust into this strange gigantic world by the magic cupboard of the title.
My favorite thing about it, though, is Randy Edelman's musical score, very gentle and wonderful, I think i'm going to see if I can get the soundtrack on ebay.
Anyway, I know this film is older, but I was very impressed by it and thought that a little random mention of an older film would be alright about now.
