My first love...
Apparently every single person my age loved this movie as a child, and apparently every one of us thinks that they are the only ones to have seen it. Words cannot describe how perfect and wonderful this movie is... the only thing that might make people not like it is the fact that it is animated. But even the animation is so beautiful and unique - it's real 80's Rankin/Bass, and very distinct.The plot line is something that children can get caught up in, and that everyone can empathize with - feeling alone, and searching for others like you. The cast is wonderful, my personal favorite being Shmendrick, the failed magician (Be wary of wowsing a wizards' wath... rousing a risards... be wary of making a wizard angry!...) The humor is sophisticated, the plot is entertaining, and the scenes are animated with a poignant beauty that you just can't find in modern Disney. I'm instructing you to BUY THIS MOVIE. NOW.
