The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb DVD

A nursery crime of epic proportions...

A dark, twisted, yet enchanting version of the classic fairy tale. Set in a world of dark and shadowy tenements, shining high-tech labs and spectic landscapes of garbage and ruins, The Secret Adventures Of Tom Thumb makes a touching hero of the tiny child mysteriously born to a woman and a man in experiments in a lab full of mutant creatures. He narrowly escapes into a world where he finds companionship with people his own size and starts to fight back against the 'giants' alongside Jack the Giant Killer.

Nothing is likely to prepare you for your entry into the astonishing, timeless world created by the award-winning bolexbrothers' director Dave Borthwick, where the strange humans are animated, latex figures breathe as if alive and objects and odd creatures crinkle and crunch in the corner. It's a world of genuine horror and moving movements that has the power to unsettle and enchant in equal measure - a potent reminder that fairy tales were never meant to be nursery soothers.
