A great series!
Brent-3317 April 1999
This movie was culled from the Eastern-Canadian/CBC produced TV series "Blizzard Island". I met puppeteer Terry Angus at a local convention a few years ago and congratulated him on his Henson-like puppets and quality production values. And it should look like a Henson production since he worked on several JHP programs, including "Fraggle Rock". I think the original run of this show was about 12 episodes. A great effort!

Blizzard Island: The Movie
FrozenShark3 August 2003
I picked up the 90 minute tape while garage sale shopping today. It looked like a decent kids film, so I grabbed it. Well, to make it short, it could have been much better. I know they were probably on a tight budget, but it would have payed off in the end if they bothered to get child actors that could actually act. Both of them act like their reading off of cue cards, and show no emotion whatsoever.

Other then that, a neat story for a kid's film, despite low production values. We are supposed to believe that Blizzard Island is dying, but everything on the island is very green. It looks like that they used a home camera to film this, and the puppets are no Muppets.

Rent it, barrow it, check it out, but don't buy it.

A childhood favorite of mine

Yes, here in Canada it was a weekly tv series on Sunday evenings entitled "Blizzard Island". It was interesting enough to keep me watching until the final episode. I couldn't believe how short the run was though. As I recall it was written or produced by Andrew Cochrane. The host of "Switchback" at that time.
