excellent classic of jules v. story. good spfx. great actors. My brother and i saw it at the theatre when it was released. Later it would be on tv 1-2× a yr. kinda hokey but still fun.

NOTHING better has ever been duplicated, even though NO CG here! It's plot and character development with great performances, creating "suspended disbelief!"

This was one of my favorites as a child. It has everything one could ask for. Besides the excellent cast and acting, it's a timeless story that is filled with vivid imagination. I bought this movie to show my daughter (5) and she loved it as well.
