Mulligan drives Daryl while being chased by a helicopter. Daryl is released into the woods and found by an elderly couple. Mulligan drives his car over a cliff. Daryl is given to children's services. Childless couple Joyce (Mary Beth Hurt) and Andy Richardson (Michael McKean) become his foster parents. Turtle Fox and his family are their neighbor friends. Daryl has amnesia but he seems to have special abilities especially with computers.
I love Daryl and I love Turtle. It's a fun family movie. It's dripping with 80's nostalgia. This is somewhat a Pinocchio story. Daryl is trying to figure out how to be a boy. It's a new spin on the story. I would definitely love to see a remake with a better cinematic sense and style. The second half takes place at the lab and then escaping from the lab. It drags a bit at times. It gets darker and less fun. It becomes less believable. This movie has flaws but it's still good.
