A film that has been hugely influential to the film industry yet still struggles to break through to the mainstream, it is perhaps the perfect example of how much of a riskier company Disney was in the 80s. Writer Peter Glagowski (TheGamer, Flixist) joins us to discuss whether the film holds up today, its surprisingly restrained use of CGI imagery, and why Disney keeps trying to make this franchise happen.
