It's funny how fast time passes, as this film is already 25 years old! It first made its appearance at various film festivals and actually should have won best film at the Sundance Film Festival, but it was decided to be too risky as they feared people wouldn't take the festival seriously anymore if an animated film won best prize. They lack the intelligence and charm that this movie did, choosing instead to really pander to children instead of creating a masterpiece that all ages can enjoy. Instead of getting any neat behind the scenes info or anything interesting at all about this movie you're basically given a long commercial trying to get you to buy the other two films. Special features are also very disappointing. Plus, and this may just annoy me, Kirby is pink on the cover for some reason. While the movie itself is a solid 4 out of 5, the picture issues are bad enough to deduct a star. It steadies itself withing the first few minutes, and only pops up once in awhile after that, but it is still a large distraction. If you order the DVD expect cell dirt to be prevalent through the film and for the beginning to have the picture shaking quite badly. The VHS copy I had was actually better quality before it became warn down from frequent viewings. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Disney is only the distributor of this movie they've given it a very lackluster release.
