    ... just an alert, this is the 1985 version, which appears to be a made for TV kids show. The youngsters will enjoy it, but it is definitely dated vis a vis color palette, script, acting, etc. The 2006 release has been updated, and is probably the one you are looking for.

    This is the P.B.S. Version and was made for t.v. in 1985. It's less than an hour long and in that time it's really hard to develop the characters much. The newer 2007 release is much better, longer, and of course newer. I wanted to see the older version to see what it was like. It's o.k. but the theatrical version is much better. Back then, this was it...now we have choices!!!
