About this movie

From Academy Award-winner Steven Spielberg comes this delightful fantasy about never giving up on your dreams. When a real estate developer tries to get rid of the last five tenants of a derelict tenement building, they need nothing short of a miracle to stay off the streets. But hope does arrive, in the form of tiny extraterrestrial beings that glide in through an open window. These intergalactic visitors may not speak the same language as the humans who find them, but they may be the solution to keeping everyone in their homes. Starring Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy and Elizabeth Peña, it's a whimsical, funny and heartwarming journey the whole family can enjoy.

Love this movie watched as a kid. Now I had the joy sharing with my kids they enjoyed it just as much movie produced by Disney/Pixar. It holds up the practical effects are hard to beat.

loved this movie as a kid and For the life of me I couldn't remember the name. Absolutely a fan tastic movie one of my favorite Spielberg's, After all these years it still holds up and looks very good.

Clearly made in '87 but even after all these years, still endearing and a joy for all ages to enjoy :)
