I remember going to see this when it first came out...my brother and father and I were the only people in the theater.

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.
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.
