i first saw this film when i be 5 and i be ashamed to say that it scar me . it just a tad too violent and scary for young child but it great family entertainment and there be dozen of in joke for film buff to spot . not only be gremlins a very original and inventive film the animatronic effect be ahead of it time and way cool . anyone who be not totally overcome by gizmo cuteness and his cool little song must have a heart of stone . the gremlin themselves be nothing but big grin with arm and leg . their idea of have fun be smash everything . who can not agree with and identify with that . i have never see any of the cut scene and i hope that in a future dvd special edition they will be include along with the sub plot about mrs. deagle build a nuclear power plant in kingston fall . this be one of joe dante first movie and you can tell that everything he grow up with and movie he study a a child be on screen in gremlin . a perfect movie make by the right director .
