My childhood

It is terrible, but I love this movie. Nothing really makes sense and you really have to stretch your suspension of disbelief. Nice to see a young Christian Bale on screen with Christopher Lee.

Boy inexplicably is carried to the Land of Faraway by a giant floating head, meets his "missing" father and finds out he is royalty.

He immediately takes it upon himself, like within a day, to defeat the local bad guy. With no training whatsoever and a huge sense of self importance, he and his best friend (who has a full bed in the middle of a garden for some reason) take off. And his dad allows it, for some reason.

Somehow, he manages to survive this ordeal and best a knight who has YEARS of experience (people upset that Rey could hold her own against Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens should use this film to gain some perspective)

Boy goes home a hero and adored by all. I think he does this all within two days of arriving in the land of faraway.

Believe it or not, I do adore this film. Grew up with it. It has more logic holes than a slice of swiss cheese, but its fun.
