I saw a somewhat washed-out and flickery full-frame version of this movie a few years back on TV. It was great then. I tried to get a Video or DVD for some while.

As someone has already mentioned, this is really a great movie, not like the sweetened Disney flicks of the period.

When I saw, that it was on program on one of our smaller tv stations I was looking forward to finaly get a chance to tape it.

And then came the very very very pleasant surprise that they broadcasted a restored widescreen version. That really made for a great Christmas surprise.

Lyddie is one of my favorite books for quite a while now, so when I found the film on video I decided to get it.

It really recreates the mood and the theme of the book in my opinion, although as usual some details had to be omitted. Good acting, a beautiful landscape and "on theme" music really add to it.

If your are looking for a good family movie which everyone in the family will enjoy, this is one for you.

OK, the ending was rather disappointing because it was shot as a pilot, but i definitely would have watched the series. A nice mix from various Sci-Fi-Elements like the "Old General who served the Republic before" .... A advanced technological race who wants to "assimilate" the galaxy ....

I think if the characters had a little more time to develop it would have been interesting.
