Aventuras en Juguetelandia

ok, sure the lines were corny. And I admit that the music sucked a little. But this is a perfect movie. All of the actors are wonderful in this film (especially Keanu:) and Drew Barrymore is adorable. Hey, syrupy sweet is what she does best! Lisa Shoelen disappeared suddenly after. Shame. She did a fantastic job as Mary Contrary. And of course, Barnaby and Zack and Mack are hysterical. I fortunately won this treasure at a raffle in my school and I was captured by the simple message-if you can look through the eyes of a child and believe in the magic of toys, you are truly lucky. Rent today!

Peoples standards are way too high. I did not watch this as a child so there's no nostalgia association while I watched this. I am currently pregnant with my first child and I'm being very considerate as to what I'll allow my child to watch. The costumes, sets and music are all perfectly adequate. It reminds me quite a bit of the "Wee-Sing" musicals I grew up watching. I think Lisa (Drew Barrymore) makes a good hero for young girls watching this. Older sister Mary (Jill Shoelen) is so lovely, another good role model for young girls. All in all I really enjoyed it for what it is, a fun kids film.

I LOVED this film when I was little and hadn't seen it in years and made my husband watch it recently lol.

Needless to say he lasted 10 minutes but for me it brought back so many happy memories as I watched this film over and over when i was younger. I remember it being a little scary and also I was desperate to be Lisa!! (Drew Barrymores character).

Yes this had really bad acting etc but it is also very endearing and has some great moments in it.

I was also surprised I remembered the words to all the songs (so bad they were good lol). Give this film a go especially if you have kids :-)

wonderful film, absolutely fantastic!!!!! I was captured by the simplistic setting and the wizard of oz-like qualities. Lisa Sheolen was fantastic as Mary Contrary, Drew Barrymore was at her sweetest as Lisa Piper, and Barnaby was played to perfection. And of course, who could forget the fantastic Keanu Reeves :). Rent today! You'll never forget it.

I have always loved this movie however why did they decide to take a made for TV movie and edit it? The original had so many songs in it and I loved those. Most of the time you edit to make it into time frame on TV...not cut to put on video after been on TV...

Does anyone else remember the original, the song between Jack and Mary or Lisa singing before going in to the Forrest?

I think this needs to be re-released in its original form!

We bought the VHS a while back and saw the edits, I decided to watch on Netflix online and there has been other times when it just seems that something is missing, a skip or something so you know there is stuff missing.
