one of my fav movies of all time, classic Robin Williams

A-Z Favorite Characters of the ’90s : D
“Do you ever wish you could sometimes freeze-frame a moment in your day, look at it and say, ‘this is not my life’?”

I want to be just like my best friend when I grow up. He’s only ten but he looks much older. He’s like the perfect grown up because on the inside, he’s still just a kid - he’s not afraid to learn things or try things, or to meet new people the way most grown ups are. It’s like he’s looking at everything for the first time - because he is. And most grown ups aren’t like that.
Oh, Jack. One of my favorites. I can’t watch it over and over like I do with my other favorite movies because it makes me too emotional! It’s such a great movie, though. Robin Williams is so, so good.
1996

and there lies the problem with all of the children’s programming of today— they didn’t listen to Daniel Hillard.
