Audience Reviews for Mio in the Land of Faraway

Jun 22, 2010

Well it a very long time ago since I saw this one..and,well not to bad,christopher lee is the best and christian bale is a beter actor and Nicholas pickard. Based on an Astrid Lindgren novel, this fantasy focuses on a Swedish teen drawn into a magical world to battle an evil knight.

The only non-swedish adaptation I've seen of a Astrid Lindgren book that is'nt crap.

It is made out to be as great as "The Neverending Story" but is very low budget. The set pieces and creature designs aren't anything grand. It has a song-singing Gnome, a giant furry wookiee creature and children which turn into butterflies. It has a European flavor to it all. Little kids will be amused. I got some chuckles for how cheap it was. Superchannel used to air this repeatedly.
