Young Kevin’s daydreams burst into astonishing and hilarious life when a band of time-traveling little men come crashing through his bedroom wardrobe and carry him off on an unbelievable crime spree, weaving through the greatest and strangest moments of history. The pint-sized plunderers filch from a neurotic Napoleon (Ian Holm), a dim-witted Robin Hood (John Cleese) and a heroic King Agamemnon (Sean Connery), leading to a showdown with the dark forces of Evil (David Warner)… all while keeping just one precarious step ahead of the wrath of The Supreme Being himself!Producer/Director/Co-writer Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil) teams with many of his comic-genius cohorts from Monty Python to bring this laugh-out-loud modern fairy tale-adventure to life.“The film is resolutely, passionately anti-adult, yet much of the humor has an adult sophistication and edge to it; this is one kids’ movie that doesn’t condescend.” – Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

“A cheerfully irreverent lark — part fairy tale, part science fiction and part comedy.” – Vincent Canby, New York Times

“Amazingly well-produced. The historic locations are jammed with character and detail. This is the only live-action movie I’ve seen that literally looks like pages out of Heavy Metal magazine.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Avenue NE, in the Nob Hill area.
