Yesterday, we also watched this family fantasy movie on Prime Video. Apparently it's based on a book of the same name, but I cannot find any information about it.
"Scott and Emily are at his grandmother's home when they suddenly discover a mysterious creature named Rufus and the wizard Abbot in a secret room filled with portals to other realities.
The story was pretty decent with average looking special effects and the acting was okay-ish.
The one problem I do have is the subtitle to this film "The Fantastic Pet" makes no sense as Rufus is not a pet but a warrior of a magical kingdom, who's grandfather actually fought in the Battle of the Five Armies from The Lord of the Rings as that is real in another reality.
It did have a few nods to classic films like "The Princess Bride" and even a few Disney animated films too.
The character of Rufus was really good and it inspired me in creating a character similar looking to him.
I would watch this again, and the whole family should love this fantasy film.
I shall rate this movie a score of 7/10.
