“The Caribbean is bursting with unsung heroes whose stories and accomplishments will never be acknowledged then soon forgotten. Filmmaker Mariel Brown brilliantly re-animates the visually stunning the world of John Rawlins, through the voice of his son Richard and his cleverly crafted miniatures. John Rawlins was a great man with a simple dream who went on to create a world when realizing his dreams, however straight forward and simple, were not so easy achieve. This film is nostalgic, upbeat and hopeful. I guarantee this tale that will warm your heart and put a smile on your face yet still manages to impress important messages of life and perseverance in the face of adversity.” ~ Lynne Parks, IMDb, 23.04.2015
