Synopsis:

Filmed in Quebec, this children's fantasy was originally released as Tales for All #5. The principal character is a lovable goblin who befriends a group of children. The magical dwarf is visible only to the kids, leading to all sorts of complications with the local adult population. In the end, the children save the goblin from the evil machinations of the human villain, a despotic land-grabber. The film's lilting musical score, written by G. Trepanier and N. Dube, has been made separately available on tape. Great Land of Small was part of a series of kid's films designed for the dual market of TV and theaters.

Two children, Jenny and David, meet a leprecaun like creature called Fritz in the woods, however his gold dust is being stolen by a wicked hunter. Only Mimmick the Indian knows that the creature is in our world. As the hunter becomes mad with power, he attempts to capture Fritz and the children. With Mimmicks help, they escape to the Land of Small, a mystical, magical land.

The Great Land of Small is a 1987 Canadian fantasy children's film. It was written by David Sigmund and directed by Vojtech Jasny. The film starred Michael J. Anderson, in one of his first, and largest, roles. The film is the 5th in the Tales for All (Contes Pour Tous) series of children's movies created by Les Productions la Fête.
