Unique from Oz's other works.

From the director of "Little Shop of horrors" and "What about Bob" brings you a unique Family movie.

Indian in the Cupboard is about Omri, a kid living in the Big Apple receives a cupboard for his birthday. It looked like an ordinary cupboard you'd find in an antique shop. But when Omri puts an Indian figurine in it, close it, and re open it to find a small living Indian who has been awaken and confused in Omri's world.

The Indian finds Omri to be a Great spirit with great powers. At first the Indian is frighten but soon he befriends with Omri and they start to make a bound with one another. Not only can you make an Indian figurine come to life, you can make other figurines come to life like "Boo Hoo Boon" and a British First Aid Unit.

I've known this movie for as long as I could remember. It may not appeal to many people. But it does make a good family movie to watch. What's worth seeing in this movie is the visual effects in making figurine characters seem smaller than the regular size characters.

I highly recommend it to the Frank Oz fans or those who like movies with unique visual effects. Suggested for older kids, due to it having some scene inappropriate for 8 and under.
