#3 was just a great get away from the first 2 by using children WITHOUT succumbing to the usual plot devices used when kids are in the lead. The little tykes are headstrong and resourceful without being annoying. They are worth cheering for and you feel for them when the chips are down and it looks like they have failed near the film's climax. Hard to find a weakness in this one, and too bad it never got a stateside release with the first 2 films. Can't wait for a fresh re-appreciation when I get to behold all 3 in hi-def!!!!!
