I have a Dream

Advantages: Great childhood memories
Disadvantages: badly animated

...it. I've done one on THE FLUMPS, now its BODS turn... Yes I am talking about another one of my childhood programmes I used to watch.. and when I learnt, whistle along to the theme tune.. If you remember BOD you will know what I am talking about, he was an animated character (created in the 70's) who was very niave, did a silly walk,(and always seemed to be in a world of his own) along with his friends PC COPPER, (the policeman), MR BARLEYMOW (the ...
...I still remember shouting out the answers to some of the games at the end of the stories. Each story had its own way of teaching kids concepts of things.

Blond haired Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia Malone (Kim Richards) are orphans, and tragically their foster parents have just died too (we don't really find out anything about that - think they were old). They end up at some sort of children's home, and go to a school where ...
...coming back. However, the escape to Witch Mountain is not easy with Bolt and Deranian hot on the children's heels. More of my thoughts… To say more would be to give away too much of the plot (and I fear some might criticise me already - but it was all relevant, I couldn't miss anything out!). This is however a typical Disney film from that era. There's drama and a bit of a car chase, there's naff special effects, and there's a happy ending ...
