Or if you can't bear it any longer, see the BBC version. Out of the three, this version is at the bottom of the pile. I saw this flick in grade school and was annoyed by how it didn't follow the book closely enough. The animation got on my nerves too.
It's not worth your time.

how it didn't follow the book closely enough=bad film?!
shareI can understand distate for any film that
doesn't follow the book it's based on
i never finished reading the whole series
but i did love the movie
i remember first seeing it on HBO
I disagree. It might not be the best adaption, but it has a quaint atmosphere that really suits the story and at least in my case, makes me feel like a child again. It might not be everyone's piece of Turkish Delight, but it's certainly not a waste of time if you're a fan.
shareAren't there four versions?
I thought there was one in the late 60s, this one, the late eighties series and now the new films...
I really liked this when I saw it back in 79 when it was fist made..
I just watched it yesterday from a video tape that I dug up.. from when Disney showed it back in the late 80s on cable.. and it still has a certain charm to it. I didn't read the books so I don't have a clue as to how close it is to the novels version..
But it is certainly a fun film to watch and it brought back some fond memories.

I like this adaption and I agree the BBC version is pretty awful.
