A young boy Kevin's bedroom is invaded by unreal visions. One night, midgets come out of his wardrobe. They are on the run from the Supreme Being after stealing his map. It's a map to all the holes in the universe and they intend to use it to get stinkin' rich. They run into Napoleon (Ian Holm). Then they get captured by Robin Hood (John Cleese). The Great Evil (David Warner) is looking for the map after being trapped in the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness by the Supreme Being. Kevin gets separated and lands on Agamemnon (Sean Connery) battling the Minotaur.
It's got great Terry Gilliam imagination behind this. It gets a bit random at times but it's always nice to have the Monty Python gang around. The only problem is the lack of compelling actors in the lead. The little actors and the kid can't pull focus. I really like Gilliam's imagination but the movie rambles from one crazy place to the next. Some of the places are not grand enough but one must remember that this is time before computers. The effects are mostly real or in miniatures.
