This was neither a kid's film nor a film for adults and by trying to please both it pleased neither. It looked fabulous and looks fabulous even forty five years later, it looks better than many films overladen with CGI effects which seems to be compulsary these days.
The acting was not up to much which was surprising considering the cast. It seems that the makers thought that how it looked, great, would compensate for the short cummings but it didn't.
I saw it for the first time in 2024 and was disappointed. It could have done with at least one younger character who could have caused a bit of trouble by doing stupid things as teenagers often do, this would have helped at the box office to draw in some younger audience members.
