One of my faves as a kid. Love the twins and their powers, and the chase.
Surprisingly good for a dated sci-fi. The 90s version was also engaging, but never saw the 2000s version.
This is one of my childhood favourite movies and it's still good today from Disney great performances from Richards and Eisenman as children
A pretty interesting family-friendly mystery thriller from what I remember. Has some pretty scary scenes!
I remember watching this as a kid and it used to be my fave.
Effects are awful. But the performances, especially by the two lead kids, are surprisingly decent. It's a fun movie.
A good Disney Classic that relies on plot and not CGI.
Runs a little good. But, overall still enjoyable.
This was better than I was expecting. Felt more realistic than the newer version
I watched this when I was a kid. I remember not being much of a fan of it.
