Since I reviewed this movie after the remake, February 2007, I was very disappointed watching the original. More so because in the 2007 version the parts that both Jess and Leslie imagined were very well animated. Also, there was not as much character development in the PBS version; so the viewer is not as drawn into the emotion that Jess feels when he loses his new best friend, Leslie. This story was supposed to be a tragic but revealing experience for a young pre-adolescent who has to deal with death. I was not moved by this version of the story. I believe that a talent of Annette O' Toole's stature was wasted in this Production. The film was just too short, very low budget and not developed well at all.
