Bad boy kid finds a reason to go straight but then that reason passes him by in the end and now he's back on the streets. Kind of a bummer. But the whale is fun

The music is dope (except for the song when Crysta is all sopping wet for Zak). So are Robin Williams and Tim Curry's performances. Worth the rewatch just to confirm how scary the sludge monster is.

Consider the context -- a few years after…

Even with LoA, which is legit an amazing movie, it drags after the intermission when Lawrence gets all mopey bc he can't just hang out with the Bedouins and King Faisal (lol…
