I'm still in the process of putting things together, so not all available videos are on their pages yet.


The Giant Movie Director

Release year:
1994

James's old star rating:

★★☆☆☆

AVERAGE OR BELOW

James's old number rating:

7/10

Old site description:

This is probably my best figure/puppet film, because the plot is appropriate for toys, because it’s about toys that come to life. They awaken from my closet, without any memory of who they are, and explore my house. Along the way, they are confronted by my cat, other figures and myself. At the end, I snatch them all and put them back inside the closet. I’m the giant movie director and I use them to act in my movies, but their memory is erased each time the movie is finished. The theme of small people has been done in films like “Dr. Cyclops”, “The Incredible Shrinking Man” or “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” It’s that sort of movie.

James's old ratings:

Back in 2003 James included star ratings with each film he listed on his filmography on his website (the text under the star rating was his description of what the star rating meant). Later on he switched to ratings out of ten.

Eventually, he dropped the ratings entirely.
