    It seems to be about two kids - but it's about much more!

    I saw this movie only once, about 13 years ago, but I still remember more scenes from it than I remember from any of the so-called blockbuster hits I saw recently. And this film really IS a memorable experience. It is about childhood dreams and nightmares and it shows far more than just friendship and adventure.....I loved it!
