The Indian in the Cupboard (film)

The Indian in the Cupboard is a 1995 American fantasyadventure film directed by Frank Oz. It was based on the childrens book of the same name by Lynne Reid Banks. The story is about a boy who receives a cupboard as a gift on his ninth birthday. He later discovers that putting toy figures in the cupboard, after locking and unlocking it, brings the toys to life.

On his ninth birthday, Omri receives an old cupboard from his brother Gillon Vincent Kartheiser and a little Native American Indian figure made of plastic from his best friend Patrick Rishi Bhat. That night, Omri goes through his moms box of old keys and finds that a gold colored key with a red ribbon tied to it given to his mother by her grandmother actually fits the keyhole of his cupboard. He then looks for an object to lock in the cupboard and settles for the Indian figurine.The next morning, he hears a small tapping noise coming from the cupboard. Omri opens the cupboard and finds a small living person hiding in the corner. It is actually the Indian figure who has magically come to life in human form. Frightened by his large acquaintance, the Indian pulls out a dagger and points it at Omri. Shortly afterwards, Omris father comes in the room to help Omri get ready for school, forcing Omri to lock the cupboard and keep the Indian a secret. ........
