   That movie is a classic, I’ve never known anyone who didn’t like it.

   You stole the words out of my mouth SlamDance. Classic movie. Should’ve won an Oscar or something. Ok, so maybe it wasn’t like “Gone With the Wind” quality, but it was super entertaining! What kid wouldn’t want to be tiny & have to battle his/her back yard to get home?!

   Two words: French Class. One of my favorites of all time. My kids think it’s “not realistic”.

   I didn’t like that movie, although it was a classic I suppose.

   This movie is indeed a classic, and I like its two sequels as well. Didn’t care for the TV show though. Watched the movies since I was like 3.
