"Every Kid wants to go to this high school!" That is the direct quoute for the introduction to the movie when it aired in January of 1988. This is a great film that was one of many in the Disney Sunday Movies. This film has earned more credit then it has gotten. Young Danny steps into Loyds "Growth" machine and becomes 30 years old in a matter of seconds. He goes to school trying to stop his teacher Mrs. Noble, that he happens to have a crush on, from marrying the Gym class bully "JackJawKelton" But what happens is way more interesting. He is mistaken to be the new principle and he kind of plays along. In this Film, Bryan Adams's "Only The Strong Survive" made it's opening. But it is not credited any where on IMDb and it should be. I have emailed Disney about bringing back some of these classic films and have not made much progress. If Disney does bring these back, I suggest you watch this one. If you have seen this film, I recomend you check out "Earth Star Voyager on the Internet Movie Database.

Great for Pet lovers

This is a great film. I watched it back in 1986 and taped it off of television. As I grew up I watched it and loved every minute of it. It is again one of those films that was put out by Disney I believe and never reaired. I just wish that they would put some of these old 80's movies back on because unlike todays movies filled with violence, sex and bad language, these films actually focus on the family. If you have seen this film, and enjoyed watching it, I suggest you check out, "The Thanksgiving Promise" and "Little Dog Sick" on the Internet Move Database. Please bring back the movies!

Great movie

This Is a great movie for anyone to see. It is packed with comedy, action, and even some heart touching parts. In this film, David (Joey Cramer) has found himself bound in a vicous cycle of time. While He has only aged 4 hours, the rest of the world has aged 8 years. David soon finds out that he has been taken to Phaelom at the speed of light and has landed in the year 1986. Then D. Faraday (Howard Hesseman), an official from NASA, discovers Davids situation and wants to keep david and run tests on him. What David doesn't know is that Dr.Faraday has found the spaceship (Max) and is keeping it in a top security hangar. David stumbles on the space ship and gives Max the star charts Max has stored in Davids brain. Max promises to take David home. An exciting movie it is indeed. You'll have to see the movie to see how it turns out. Again this is one of those films that Disney put out in 1986 and it has been aired on Sci-Fi and Television. If you've seen this movie, I recommend you check out the 1987 movie "Earth Star Voyager" on IMDB.
Great Film
20 December 2000
I saw this movie about 12 years ago on ABC in 1988. It was and still is a great movie. The plot is original and is very reasonable. I watched it as I grew up and loved every minute of it. It is too bad that Disney didn't bring it back as a re-run or put it out on video. I taped this movie off of ABC when it was aired in 1988 but it is a little worn. I wish there were somewhere that I could get it on DVD. This is one of many great films that I watched then, Earth Star Voyager is still a great film. They should bring back the characters 26 years older than in 1988 and see if they made it to Demeter!
