Jenna Walter

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ariella Broughton

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

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.
