First off, you need to see this movie; there really isn't anything else out there like it. I was in my first year of high school in 1961, and I was living in a small town, so many of the things the kids in the movie did for "entertainment" certainly brought back memories. But the music is really what holds it all together. This music is mostly from black entertainers and musicians of this era; the movie itself barely shows any blacks, and when it does, they are in the background. So, I guess the point I am trying to make is that if the black music had not been created to begin with, this movie would never have been as appealing as it is, if it existed at all. I think we owe a great deal to the black entertainers we are so fortunate to have, and the wonderful music they continue to create to this very day. Please support the black artists.

An excellent, well made movie with a very believable plot and characters. Special effects are very well done. I've viewed it several times since its release in 1984 and still enjoy it to this day.

This was a very well done study of bats, using various photographic techniques to show just about every aspect of the bat, from birth onward. As is mentioned in this video, the bat is very misunderstood, even to this day; anyone watching this should gain a newfound respect for this remarkable creature.
