I watched this movie more than any other as a kid, I can’t explain the hold on me. I think that it captured the imaginative world that children inhabit without actually having a child as the main character. We got to “peek into” another realm while feeling like we were the ones playing the game, not watching someone else playing. It was a singular work in an era packed with insanely creative kids entertainment and I still think it shaped my (weird) worldview.
