  • Summary

  • Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into the 1987 Tales for All film The Great Land of Small, directed by Vojtěch Jasný. We follow two kids on a strange adventure through a magical forest, where they meet Fritz, a leprechaun-like creature, and face Slimo, a dark god who thrives on chaos.


    This episode, we break down the film’s bizarre mix of fairy tale elements and its uniquely Canadian twist. It’s often compared to The NeverEnding Story, but we look at how it carves out its own quirky space—with invisible dogs, a villainous hunter, and a world brought to life by Cirque du Soleil performers.


    We talk about what works, like its low-budget creativity and oddball charm, and what doesn’t, like its meandering plot and Slimo’s vague, unsettling presence. So, is The Great Land of Small a hidden gem or just a weird curiosity? Tune in and let us know what you think!
