I’ve always loved watching that movie, ever since I was a little kid. It’s one of those great 80s family adventure movies and you can see where “Stranger Things” got some of its inspiration from.🥲👏

I need to watch that again! Loved it when I was a kid. I recorded it off TV, but missed the first 45 minutes, so have no idea how it even starts.

I've seen that one enough that I can perform a one man reenactment for you, if you'd like.

Please!

Captain Disillusion's video rightly applauding the efforts of the VFX team is my YouTube equivalent of comfort food. youtu.be/tyixMpuGEL8?...

Probably the best thing the captain has done, in my opinion.

This had to be my favourite sci-fi movie as a kid in the 80’s. Replayed the VHS over and over until it wore out. That and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind were my go to.
