Flight of the Navigator

Well, I finally saw a movie! My mom bought me Flight of the Navigator. Ever see it? It's from way back in the day...1986 to be exact. Just found out that Paul Rubens (aka PeeWee) was the voice of the ship robot thing. That makes so much more sense now with the way he laughed and talked in some of the parts. I always remembered it being a really cool movie as a kid and unlike many cartoons from my past, this movie was still cool. The story is about a 12yr old kid that falls into a ravine while looking for his annoying little brother. When he climbs out 8 years have passed. He ends up going to a NASA base to be looked at, poked, proded, and studied by a bunch of scientists and a young Sarah Jessica Parker is the only nice person in the joint who brings him his meals. He ends up escaping, finding a ship and flying around before finally making it back to "his" time. I don't think there's any real deep underlying morals to this story. You might call this a modern day Wizard of Oz without a lot of complications. Or a story of a kid who learns to appreciate his family. Anyways, check it out if the kid in you needs to be revived a bit.
