Goddamn, what a movie! Jim Henson's workshop with practical effects, plus amazing animal training with a bit of wonderful human acting make a magical film. James Cromwell is perfectly understated. The score is fantastic. Is it silly and schmaltzy? Absolutely. Does it work? For sure. I loved it as a kid and just watched it for the first time in 25+ years (streaming on max). So glad it holds up. Was kinda shocked it was adapted by George Miller (yeah, Mad Max George Miller). Didn't remember it was nominated for 7 Oscars (winning 1 for visual effects). 90 well-paced minutes, tight, and just a dynamite ending. My wife made fun of me for crying.
Anyway, awesome movie that I haven't seen discussed much anywhere. submitted by /u/AntawnSL
