I was 13 & awash in the glow that Star Wars brought us all- alas this was an interesting but pallid attempt by Disney- I just wanted to express the two things I think are/were good about this film- mainly, Maximillian Schell as the maniacal villain( a worthwhile villain can sometimes save a movie- sadly not here) More importantly, the score is great I still like it quite a lot. Ah well maybe they'll try again with updated science, effects and maybe a working script.

Interesting as a pair of Cthulhu slippers
11 October 2016
I was intrigued by the idea, especially given it is October and it has such people as Plummer & Pearlman attached to it. I was aghast at the animation. I thought maybe along the lines of Paranorman but Wow no. Very badly written. Too much for kids, too horrible for anyone older than 14. Maybe the animation was what failed. I used to work in the industry back in the 90's & this would have been great- until about 1995. Sorely disappointing. I give them 1 star for the attempt & 2 more for the acting talent. I almost want to take 11 stars off just for the amateurishness. Read your kids Neil Gaman's Graveyard Book or re watch something better made like Paranorman instead of this weak film. Seriously.
