is a classic 80s children's adventure. Its the type of adventure story that could only have been written in the 80s.
All the songs on the films soundtrack were performed by the great man himself, Mr Bowie. The film has some
classic fantasy characters in it, which really make the film, although some of them are a little scary. It's certainly
one of our favourites.
