    Storyline

    Edit
    Danny is hopelessly in love with his teacher Peggy Noble. Of course she doesn't even notice him while she plans to marry the obnoxious coach Roy "Jack-jaw" Kelton. When Danny's friend Lloyd invents a growth accelerator for fruit and vegetables to "solve world hunger", Danny uses it on himself and as an adult tries to show her Roy's real personality. However at his first appearance at school as an adult, he's mistaken for someone else... —Lauren Snowden <lozza_star_69@hotmail.com>

    Every Kid Wants to go to this High School
    "Every Kid wants to go to this high school!" That is the direct quoute for the introduction to the movie when it aired in January of 1988. This is a great film that was one of many in the Disney Sunday Movies. This film has earned more credit then it has gotten. Young Danny steps into Loyds "Growth" machine and becomes 30 years old in a matter of seconds. He goes to school trying to stop his teacher Mrs. Noble, that he happens to have a crush on, from marrying the Gym class bully "JackJawKelton" But what happens is way more interesting. He is mistaken to be the new principle and he kind of plays along. In this Film, Bryan Adams's "Only The Strong Survive" made it's opening. But it is not credited any where on IMDb and it should be. I have emailed Disney about bringing back some of these classic films and have not made much progress. If Disney does bring these back, I suggest you watch this one. If you have seen this film, I recomend you check out "Earth Star Voyager on the Internet Movie Database.
