The Indian in the Cupboard Movie Review 1995

On his ninth birthday, Omri receives a three-inch plastic indian named Little Bear and an old wooden medicine cabinet. (Guess they were out of Power Rangers.) When placed in the cabinet, Little Bear magically comes to life, taking Omri on adventures and teaching him important lessons. Blue screen techniques allow them to appear together on-screen although they were actually shot together only once. Based on the best-selling children's book by Lynne Reid Banks.
