When's it 'Cotton Candy's' turn to be released on DVD?, 26 August 2005
9/10
Author: Holmzb124 from United States

What a great, great underdog band movie! I remember seeing this in grade school and, to this day, it still stuck with me. I would love to be able to get a copy of this Ron Howard bad boy on DVD and drift back in time to 4th grade and watch Cotton Candy rock the house and take over the senior prom! Remember Clint Howard as the bands manager after he got thrown out for starting the fight with Torbin? As Rapid Fire leaves the stage and Cotton Candy starts to win over the Rapid Fire crowd, there's Clint, looking through the door and crying at the fact that the band is becoming is hit. Chalk one up for Cotton Candy, the little band that could! STAND UP AND SHOUT!!!!!!!
