I was able to watch this tonight at another one of those in-theater Prime preview nights (with free popcorn). The characters in the image are about 4" high and are CGI animated to look like painted glass/porcelain figures come to life. They are (if you pardon the expression) a big part of the movie and you get to see them interact with normal size people quite a lot. There is one scene in particular where the lady figurine is hiding under a bed in her miniature home when someone reaches a hand in and starts poking around trying to find her...this and a few other tidbits might set off a few creative imaginations among our viewers. But for the most part I found it difficult to get excited about CGI porcelain figurines. YMMV.
Notable line - after the miniature lady complains about having been turned into a figurine: "But I do have a two inch waist!"
I got a few laughs out of it. It's an amusing family movie, but don't get too excited about the quasi-SW.
