Synopsis:

Based on the popular children's book by Lynne Reid Banks, this fantasy concerns a young boy who discovers that his toys are developing lives of their own -- which presents him with unexpected responsibilities. Omri (Hal Scardino), a young boy growing up in Brooklyn, receives an odd variety of presents for his birthday: a wooden cabinet from his older brother, a set of antique keys from his mother Jane (Linsday Crouse), and a tiny plastic model of an Indian from his best friend Patrick (Rishi Bhat). Putting them all together, Omri locks the Indian inside the cabinet, only to be awoken by a strange sound in the middle of the night. Omri opens the cabinet to discover that the tiny Indian has come to life; it seems that he's called Little Bear (Litefoot), and he claims to have learned English from settlers in 1761. Omri hides this remarkable discovery from his mother but shares it with Patrick; as an experiment, Patrick locks a toy cowboy into the cupboard, and soon Little Bear has a companion, Boone (David Keith), though predictably, the cowboy and the Indian don't get along well at first. Omri comes to the realizations that his living and breathing playthings are also people with lives of their own, and he begins to wonder how much control he should really have over their lives. The Indian in the Cupboard was directed by Frank Oz, best known as one of the original puppeteers for The Muppets and the voice of Miss Piggy.

This movie holds up so well. Practical effects are the way to go.

Happy 30th anniversary. It's the perfect time for a 4K Steelbook with Dolby Vision/HDR and Dolby Atmos sound bundled with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 2.0 stereo sound.

It wouldn't surprise me if they do end up releasing it in 2-2.5 years from now.

[Namuhana]

I think I may still have the VHS of this. I haven't seen it in ages, but I remember really enjoying it as a kid. I still have a VCR, so I may watch it again to see if I need the Blu-ray.

[dallywhitty]

Ermagurd! I used to watch this all the time as a kid.
