Viewing Notes

For not being big into Blu-ray my library sure has some odd selections on Blu-ray. Don’t recall this movie getting a theatrical release as other GKids titles. It’s a nice coming of age film about teen boys having one last adventure together.

This is like a Japanese Stand By Me with a altered story. The director is asked about it during the interview and she says she watched that movie so many times but came up with her story before she realized how it was similar.
