this movie be really great and it have an exciting and plausible plot and reasonable acting and it wasn not just cheesy crap compare to most of the other drivel that be be play for u kid at that time . this clearly stand out shin in my mind and up there with the neverending story and flight of the navigator . this movie do not talk down to me a a child and which i quite like . and it wasn not just another cartoon and which for the most part i find painfully dull in their lack of realism . the natty character and and all those she meet on her adventure ( include the wolf that she befriend ) and be unique and interesting and think provoke . and you actually care what happen to them all by the end . and how many other movie aim at youth have a kid get chase away from eat out of a garbage dumpster . heh . great film . i want to watch it again to see if i still like it a much and but i know i probably will . i know the plot quite well and i do watch the movie at least 8 or 10 time a kid .
