Trivia:
When MAX, the ship computer, is describing the animals he has on board, he said "That is a Feenastarus from the Pixar Elliptic". This was five years before Pixar, a fledgling special effects computer group at the time, teamed up with Disney, who produced this film.

This film is to blame for my over active imagination. Saw it on TV when i was at school and watched it over and over ever since! Though the quality of the film was not something i would have noticed when i was that age, i did notice the amazing special effects (for that era of cinematographic effects).
The ship design (Steve Austin) is truly inspired (especially when in 'first class manouvre' mode!!) and stylistically has stood the test of time (it could quite easily pass off as futuristic in new films today. Maybe he should have done some more design work(?).
And my favourite character ... 'Al', the big guy at the service station ('Rusty' Pouch), best bit of acting ever!
The flight scenes and the concept of flying in a cool spaceship caught my young mind most of all. As i watched it time and time again, the many other factors proved to play a major part of the film. The music score for one is great and for me has become a critical part of the film (I love the 80's synth!)
All in all, this piece of cinema was very very well thought out, constructed, produced, acted, all fitting together in a film that many films could never achieve.
Go buy it on DVD!
