Description:
The animated Time Kid boasts an exciting idea for a family movie: Remake previous film versions of H.G. Wells's irresistible The Time Machine, but tell the story from the point of view of the time-traveling hero's son, who plunges 10,000 years into the future in search of his missing dad. Adolescent Tom Spender leaves his familiar 1902 trappings in a machine similar to the one that took his father, Henry, to a superficially Eden-like future. Like Henry, Tom meets a race of exotic, golden children who appear to want for nothing but lack curiosity about their existence--or about the reasons why so many of them disappear into the cruel hands of a subhuman species. On the downside, Tom is annoying and frequently petulant. The good news is a lot of Time Kid's re-imagining of Wells's futuristic set pieces is quite captivating and refreshing, at moments even superior to previous, live-action adaptations of the book. --Tom Keogh
