I watched this film for the first time several years ago and was riveted by it. Always expecting the worst to happen, I was sure that around every corner an unexpected calamity would befall these beloved characters. But none ever did! I was filled with elation from the first minute to the closing credits. Bubble wrap never looked so intriguing! The Mongolian Steppes never appeared so appealing. I just can't wait for this film to appear in DVD format. Along with the Milagro Beanfield War, I consider this film one of my all time favourites. Enjoy and be elated!
