I remember going to see this when it first came out...my brother and father and I were the only people in the theater.
Watching it again fifteen years later with friends, I realized there was a reason why.
I used to love this movie when I was a child and I still manage to love it to this day. Its kind of sad that my children won't have live-action/animated movies like this to watch when they are growing up.
this film is pretty poor all round. the story is fairly childish along with the animation but it's a bit too scary for the age range it's going for. so it's poor thought out and the story is weak. kids wouldn't even understand the characters the boy meets as they are too grown up...( read more)
i love this movie alot i own it now and im 18 lol i dont think theres any such thing as a kiddie movie because when you go to disney you cant tell me that when your favorite charcater comes up to you you arenyt excited lol i love the music in this movie ill watch this movie just for the music lol i love it and everyone should watch it just a tip you can download both songs off of limewire
I used to watch it alot as a kid- when I was sick with the flu I used to watch my favorite parts soooo much that the VHS got worn out ;D
I accredit this movie as one of the reasons I prolly started writing in the first place, since it gave me warm memories about books when I got older. (Well, that, and "Snufflegrunt's Treasure".. DON'T LAUGH, but my mom used to read it to me and my sis)
Anyway, my point is that just 'cuz something's a "kiddie" movie or old, doesn't mean that it's not good or that it does not mean something to someone.
