Gooby is a hairy wizard and will incite your dreams. Pure cinema bliss will follow you and create wonder in your life. Dream casting surrounds the furry center of this tale. If you don't have children you will want to adopt and add them to your family quickly just so you can show them a screening of Gooby. Truly transformative art and the cliffhanger ending leaves you begging for a sequel that may never arrive. In an alternate universe this movie becomes part of our pop culture heritage and inspires theme parks, cereal, action figures, and video games. Robbie Coltrane the actor only exists as Gooby now. The perfect voice for the perfect bear. Eugene Levy has never been so enchanting as the eternally curious instructor of young Willy. The heartbreaking turn of events at the climax of this film put E.T. to shame. Spielberg needs to take a lesson from Wilson Coneybeare a director to watch in the years ahead. Excuse me while I rewind my DVD and watch it again...
