Featured Actress: Uma Thurman - Monty Python animator Terry Gilliam goes the fantasyland distance in this journey to the moon, to the inside of a whale and back again with a Baron in search of his old comrades-in-arms. Although it's not the crowd-pleaser Gilliam's Time Bandits was, this highly imaginative, fun-loving story still entertains all ages. Look for Robin Williams playing the Moon King and Uma Thurman as Botticelli's inspiration for Venus. This is an entertaining film that is reminiscent in many ways of "Time Bandits." As others have mentioned, the visual appeal of the film is extremely great. I can see why several mentioned that the film seemed excellent on a second viewing: the Baron is an unfamiliar character to most Americans and it takes a while to get to know him. Those who already know the Baron Munchausen tales will be charmed immediately.
