This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I honestly like this Mimi-Siku better in this version. In two versions (Little Indian Big City "Un Indien Dans la ville) and Jungle 2 Jungle- the characters had different personalities. 1. First shot we see of the character walking in the jungle, canoing in the river, shooting a iguana with a bow and arrow and shooting a rocket that's self destructing (which the beginning of Mimi in the Disney film was a little different) 2.In most scenes when Mimi wears that loincloth his face is always painted (only part when he doesn't have the painted red on his face is when he wears clothes. (That was unlike the Mimi in the Disney version when he wore the loincloth and all, his face was not painted). 3. On Mimi's first visit to Paris, he actually wears clothes but is still barefooted despite wearing a loincloth all his life-I guess they wouldn't allow a kid to go around half-naked in a city (even though on Mimi's first visit to New York, he was still in loincloth) 5. Some scenes Mimi wears the headband, some scenes he doesn't. 6. How Mimi spoke (if you heard him in the English dub) was like a real Indian. He didn't speak like he was educated French/English. He said Paliku taught it to him. Some would say that is how a 2 1/2 year old kid would've talked. "Me do this-you do that." 7. Mimi is never emotional in most of the scenes. The English dubbed version he says to his dad at the airport "Me no cry. Me a man." Even a man can cry and have emotions-but never in his tribe. But it's kind of cute the way some kids say that "Me not scared. Me a grown-up. Me no cry. Me a grown-up."

I was born in the Swedish capital. When I was two years old, I was taken out to the Swedish country side. I grew up there, and didn't give a *beep* about the school, my friends or my family. I spent all the time in the forests and around the rivers and lakes. My best friend was my Border Collie, given to me when I was three. I was literarely raised by dogs. When I was thirteen I had to learn to live in a city when my Dad got himself a better job. When I was fourteen I watched this film on the Centrumbions 50th anniversary. The audience laughed. I cried. People looked at me and laughed even more, because a fourteen years old crying at a comedy for kids isn't a common sight. I cried because this wasn't a comedy to me, this is dead serious. Now, six years later, I still cry when I watch this film. Because it reminds of myself. But I've also learned something throughout the years. And that is to laugh. This is one of the greatest movies ever.

What is up with this movie? It's awful. Why of all the foreign language films, did THIS one get a major U.S. release? Why did they remake it (Jungle 2 Jungle)? Did they think that making it in english would make it better? Roger Ebert gave it his rare Zero Stars, and, I can assure you, it deserves every star it didn't get. 1/10

This movie was slightly entertaining. Ludwig Briand as "Mimi-Siku" did a fantastic job......but the movie, itself was fair. The sub-plot was rather weak. The visual aspects of the movie were stunning......especially the scenes in the jungle. It's American counter-part, "Jungle 2 Jungle", was about the same.
