Having read many of the other reviews on here, I am amused and bewildered that this films core narrative has escaped them, somehow. Without regurgitating the storyline one more time... just take this lil' beauty for what it is - A lovely fever dream of a film, meant to distract and entertain, with the notion of making one consider some of the Bigger Questions of our short existence on this little rock. Know that this was made in the Before Time, so it lacks any CGI that would likely be administered liberally were it to be made in the Now Time... be grateful for this, very grateful. Enjoy the people who inhabit this brief filmic moment and know that Life will never, ever, be this simple again. Now, go take your Siesta!

Quite surprised that I am the first to write about this little show, as it was kind of a big deal if you were a kid growing up in South Florida in the 60's & 70's. Most of us were "on it" during that time at least once, as there was a live audience, comprised of local kids.

I remember going as part of someones birthday party and it was pretty cool to see yourself the next morning on TV, Black & White for us at the time. Skipper Chuck had a sidekick named Scrubby, who was eerily similar to one "Gilligan", of Gilligan's Island fame, as that show was pretty big at the time. It was fun for the kids, as it was meant to be, and Skipper Chuck was a Good Guy and a positive role model (remember those?!) so we all benefited from this show and it's local influence.

That is all, carry on!

Two things right off the bat, a normal size truck DERAILS an entire long train traveling at full speed, simply impossible. And second, the driver of said truck, survives said crash, yeah right... whatever you say. Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but come on!
