I liked this movie when it came out. Of course I was a kid then and I haven't seen it in 15 years. The silly song popped in my head and I had to come here and check it out.

I remember watching this movie 2 or 3 times when it came out. I didn't enjoy it much but the kids around me liked it so I tried to pay attention.

All I can remember is some scene with musical notes coming out of the monster's horn. I hope I never see this movie again.

I will make the last reply of the thread a positive one. I saw this movie when I was about 4 or 5 or about 16 years ago. I loved this movie. I watched it 3 times in one night at my friends house. Our parents let us stay up realy late to keep watching it. The movie just popped into my head recently and thought I would check it out.

I got the poooh on me!!!

I saw this movie when I was six and it didn't scare me at all....and lots of weird stuff used to scare me as a child, but this didn't.

I loved this movie.
I wish it was on DVD :D.

Wow, this is an old post!

LOL Anyway, this movie scared my mom when I was a child watching it in the 80's! I think most 80's films were a bit creepy! I'm not sure how many times I had seen it back than, but I had to come on here to check out if anyone else remembers it! Now, I need to watch the trailer!

This movie.. Wow. I remember this came on TV maybe in 1991 or 1992 and my mom video taped it for us. I watched it so much with my sisters that we had every line memorized. I randomly thought of this movie earlier because of the Sheb Wooly song and went on YouTube AND IT'S THERE! So I watched it. It brought back a lot of memories as I hadn't seen it in forever. They sure don't make funny, cute movies like this anymore. It's too bad they don't ever show this on TV and it's really too bad that this isn't on DVD.

Oh and wow, this thread is 10 years old!!!!

I've seen active threads much older than that on IMDB. There is one that dates back to 2002. I forgot which IMDB messageboard it was.
