What makes it different from others?
Very well executed
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I saw this movie in Cedar Rapids, IA in about 1969. It had a lasting impact remembering it since I was three. Since posting I have found that the Xerox company made it and you can find it at some libraries in the USA ---- ----Spoiler Warning ------- what I remember about TWM is two kids that are friends climb into a tall rocket type capsule that is the wishing machine. They have great voyages and fantastic adventures and leave it to a normal life only to return back to it for more adventures later. Perfect for kids about my age at the time (three/four). Check it out if you find it, I think it is a masterpiece and very relevant to the cold war.
