I saw this film when i was ten years old and it made a big impression on me.So much so that I sat through the main film again so that I could watch Tobor again.I must have been in the cinema for six hours.The only other time I saw it was on a kids Saturday matinée a couple of years later.I have never seen it shown on TV,I wonder if it has been? It might seem corny now,but to a young boy in the early fifties it was magic.I have never forgotten it and I was really pleased to find all the info about the film when I Googled it. I see the DVD is due to be released in 2009 so I will get the chance to watch Tobor for the first time in fifty years.I am sure I will still enjoy it and it will bring back memories of a simpler time.
