I'm not suggesting Carnival Magic is a good film, but I will admit to delighting in its peculiar behavior and bootleg turns of plot. Did I mention the talking chimp? Go to Full Review

ghimk 6d This is a silly one in my opinion with a boy and a monkey See more 09/07/2020 how did this get missed by the Oscars See more 11/18/2019 I don't see an option for 0 stars. I subjected myself to this movie through the magic of MST3K, and even the verbal antics of Jonah, Crow, and Tom Servo couldn't save this train-wreck of a film. See more 03/09/2018 Wow...just.......wow. See more Keith P 07/23/2017 Chances are most of you discovered this on the new "Mystery Science Theater 3000." One big failure is that the talking chimpanzee seems to only mumble. & for a presumably family-friendly movie about a talking animal there's one or two violent scenes. See more 06/16/2017 Not very magical. Pretty bad voice dubbing. See more Read all reviews
