This is the universal story of good over evil, spiritual search for a higher purpose, and hope over everything else and it does it in a most wonderful and easy way that anybody can relate. I think every other movie of the fantasy-hope seeking kind made after this one had been repeated and followed the same formula as Star Wars. After this movie, it’s just a matter of reinventing the wheel.
Besides, this was the first movie i ever saw, i was 4 years old and it left in my memory the most beautiful remembrances of a movie ever. That’s why is my favorite.
