Me too! One of my favorites. When I was a kid it would come on TV about once a year and I would get so excited. Saw it in the theater for the first time a few months ago. On the big screen there were so many details that I never noticed before.

What an interesting perspective – I loved it. “Home is monochrome; I dream in color.” That’s a beautiful line.
