Does the magic still stand up 30 years on?

Yes.

From The Manchester Guardian.

the film leaves you with: delight. It doesn’t feel like it was worked to death by seasoned screenwriters, more that it was written by six-year-olds on a sugar rush:[/qute]

That thing about "worked to death by screenwriters" is what I displike about a number of modern films and TV programmes, especially American ones for some reason.

Indeed, great movie. I also liked the cartoon, although I'm not sure it holds up as well today

I wonder that myself. I love the movie and remember really liking the cartoon......hope it's still good and not cheese!

Yea I'm with ya there. These kind of articles need to do a better job on picking movies\shows\games that might actually suck now.
