It was pretty awesome at the time, and there wasn't anything like on TV. It's easy to sit back a poke fun at this stuff given our technological advances, but I would prefer to focus on the creativity and craftsmanship that went into accomplishing this in an age without computer animation. Remember that the Lord of the Rings films used miniatures too. I remember that opening and remember this little making of featurette from when I was a kid.

Keep in mind that was 1982. NO ONE had anything that elaborate to introduce a movie of the week. @bobsyeruncle….

I have to admit, that was exhausting to watch. The awkwardly-descriptive song was embarrassing to listen to. And I can't believe the minds behind that project were SATISFIED with having churned out something roughly on par with the smoldering remains of a train set. Thanks, Rodney, I think.

He knew everything looked liked crap even when it was "state of the art". I think I'm gonna stop raggin' on him for using all that blue screen.

I think emotionally we can tune into the level of detail in any project; so, even today it's important to spend the extra time brush stroking those 1's and 0's.
