Brilliant concept in a somewhat moving story.
Any time children are made lead characters, the alarm bells start ringing, but Joey Cramer did a great job. Casting Pee-Wee Herman as the ship's voice was an unfortunate decision, yet understandable when you consider era and the target demographic, and it's even more understandable when David enters the ship
. The script sadly goes haywire as well at that point.
The effects are dated for sure but hold up pretty well.
All in all, it's a solid, fun, family friendly entertainer which conveniently avoids bogging itself down in technicalities.

Great little 80's film. Can't believe I never saw this as a kid. I would have idolised it! 12 years 6 months ago -

Amazing fun. I loved the little lad playing lead, he did a great job at getting empathy from me.
