A little dusty

Notwithstanding the greatness of the special effects, the whole content and message of the film have not aged terribly well. In today's world, children need a message a little deeper than: "Wish and it will come true". The ultimate irony of the film though is the fact that it has been outfoxed by a video game version known as "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance". In that game Sebastian's wishing turns on him creating a fictional world where he becomes a tyrant and no one grows emotionally. This irony is compounded because the bookstore owner in the film warns the audience against the "shallowness" of video games.
