Although the puppet in this movie leaves much to be desired, the acting by the character playing Chris, the better looking of the two boys, is absolutely outstanding. He commands a presence on screen that is rivaled only by his devilish good looks. All in all, he saves this film and puts it on my top ten list.

A new classic, in the genre of kid's movies with horrible puppets. Not since Pet Shop has there been such a repulsive puppet star, as stiff and awkward as the script in which it reads. Butter up the popcorn, dim the lights, and get ready to fast-forward through the human actors, cause this bird really knows how to fly!My score: 2
