	Review, Middle School, INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD, Lynn Reid Banks
		The miniature toy Indian (Indians portrayed as objects or things) is described as an Iroquois warrior, but is dressed as a movie western version of a generic plains Indian "chief", complete with eagle feather headdress.
		Indian in the Cupboard Despite (or because?) or its racism, it's sold more than 3,000,000 copies in hardcover and almost 1.5 million in paper since its 1982 publication -- before Disney released the film last summer.
		It is an echo of the ceremonial phrase used at the tim of the death of a British monarch and emphasizes the continuity of the traditions of British rule.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Indian in the Cupboard" review
		In "The Indian in the Cupboard" the characters come to life in a way that is refreshingly vivid for a children's movies.
		When he first comes to life, the Indian, Little Bear (rap performer Litefoot), appropriately thinks that Omri is some kind of giant spirit that has whisked him away from his own world.
		Even with this shortcoming and a few other nagging questions (Why doesn't Omri try other toys, like a race car, in the cupboard?), "The Indian in the Cupboard" is a film that parents will be happy to have seen with their kids.

	The Indian in the Cupboard
		The Indian in the Cupboard is a family-oriented film that gives you two interesting premises: The first is how will a mild-mannered nine year old boy respond to a situation where he suddenly has god-like control over little plastic figures that have come to life in his room?
		He puts the Indian in the cupboard, locks the door, and goes to bed.
		He opens ithe cupboard and is amazed to find that the plastic figure has come alive -- a four inch, frightened Onondaga warrior named Little Bear (Litefoot), who has been transported from the eighteenth century into Omri's bedroom.

		Omri manages to find a key that will lock and open the cupboard, and when he does he makes the strange discovery that when he puts a toy into the cupboard and re-opens it, the toy becomes real.
		Omri doesn't really grasp what kind of power is at work, but he soon discovers that he has the ability to take real people out of their normal lives and turn them into little people, so long as he has the appropriate plastic figurine.

		July 17, 1995 -- ``Indian in the Cupboard' is a sensitive parable about parenthood and responsibility.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| 'Pocahontas' and 'The Indian in the Cupboard'
		In Indian in the Cupboard, we see the warrior attempting to have a life based on his own culture despite the fact that in the world of the Giant White Child he's constantly threatened and exists at the whim of the child and his friends.
		While Indian in the Cupboard reinforces to middle-class audiences the general idea of Native Americans as tragic curiosities, literally brought to life — and symbolically killed — by their young white masters, Disney's Pocahontas reworks a specific historical episode.
		Unlike the diminished warrior in Indian in the Cupboard, whose power and sexuality are threatening and must be reduced, Pocahontas is seen as an ideal ethnic sex object, so the animators at Disney have heightened her sexuality.

	Oyate - Avoid The Indian in the Cupboard
		When, for lack of a better idea, he puts a plastic "Indian" in it, the little figure comes to life, still tiny, but very much a human being.
		Although the little "Indian" is called Iroquois, no attempt has been made, either in text or illustrations, to have him look or behave appropriately.
		As with The Indian in the Cupboard, the writing in The Return of the Indian is vivid, and the dangers faced by Omri and his friend Patrick are compelling and real.

		As with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Indian in the Cupboard (which was written by E.T. scribe Melissa Mathison) is about a magical visitor connecting with a lonely child.
		The second-best movie about toys coming to life released in 1995, although not by the margin one might think, The Indian in the Cupboard is one of the least pandering and most socially progressive children's films ever released.
		This Cowboy and Indian brings up memories of the adults' childhoods that are watching the movie with their kids, not correcting their own misconceptions.

		The Indian in the Cupboard is one of those rare books that is equally appealing to children and adults.
		The Indian in the Cupboard is also available in Spanish (La Llave Magica.) (The publisher recommends this book for children ages 9-12, although younger kids will enjoy hearing it read aloud.)
		Furthermore, while the whole premise of a little Indian coming alive in a cupboard is engough to keep the story moving, this is but one of the many adventures twist which unfolds in this great story.

		Though not as inspired as the recent remake of "The Little Princess" or "Searching for Bobby Fischer," the film adaptation of "The Indian in the Cupboard" is still a most enjoyable family film in the best sense - it's a fantasy that both kids and their parents can enjoy.
		But at its heart, "The Indian in the Cupboard" is about imagination and coming of age, and, if you will, putting away childish things.
		"The Indian in the Cupboard" is rated PG for violence and mild profanity.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Indian in the Cupboard" on DVD
		Though it sports a now-politically incorrect title (Shouldn't it be "The Aboriginal in the Cupboard?"), this is an entertaining fantasy from director Frank Oz and screenwriter Melissa Mathison.
		It turns out, however, that this is no ordinary cupboard because toys you put into it come to life when the key is turned in its lock.
		Another gift is a plastic aboriginal, er, Indian given to him by a friend of Indian (real Indian, not aboriginal) descent (hey, we didn't start this politically correct claptrap!) which when the cupboard's magic is worked on it becomes a miniature real life Iroquois warrior called Little Bear (played by Litefoot).

		Conversely, toys that have been brought to life can be returned to their inanimate state when returned to the cupboard.
