- Well, I have seen the film you speak about.
-
- I'm sorry to say that to my knowledge it has never been shown in theatres,
- nor has it ever been available on videotape/laserdisk.
-
- I thought the film was interesting. But I cannot remember it so clearly,
- as I had watched it on The Disney Channel as part of a program shown
- a number of years (say around 1984/1985) called BEYOND TRON.
-
- The film is rather short. Say 10 minutes, maybe. Perhaps shorter than
- that, I can't recall. The entire backgrounds are done by computer, but
- I believe the child was done by hand animation.
-
- I thought it was a very interesting film at the time. But I wish I could
- see it again as well.
