Names of the children
1 January 2011
Mary Badham's name in To Kill A Mockingbird was Scout, and her brother's name was Jem. Her name here is Sport, and her brother is Jeb. Just thought that was rather odd, and wonder if Earl Hamner did that as a paean to Harper Lee.

I was very distracted by the overdubbing - as others have mentioned, so clearly June Foray. I kept expecting Rocket J. Squirrel to show up. Clearly Mary Badham knew how to project - she certainly did so in TKAM and This Property Is Condemned. I can't imagine why the dubbing was used.

I thought this was a fitting end to the series - an escape from a bad situation via a magic portal.
