Gooby

Best movie I've seen in a long time
I've watched numerous children and family movies throughout my life, and 'Gooby' is one that sticks out the most. It's not because of the monster named Gooby's loveable smile, heartwarming jokes, or example-setting morals; instead it is the heartwarming moments Gooby spends with our protagonist, Willy, a troubled young man who is suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia.

Very highly recommended as an enduringly popular addition to community library DVD collections
When Willie and his parents move into a new house the youngster is convinced that the place fairly lurks with evil aliens from outer space who are going to do him harm. Willie wants desperately for someone to save him. That's when Gooby shows up. A big, loveable, scruffy creature (who may just be as frightened of the world as Willie is of space aliens) to provide comfort and companionship to a beleaguered young boy. "Gooby" is a fully featured theatrical production starring Matthew Knight as Willie and Robbie Coltrane as the voice of Gooby. This flawless DVD edition of a thoroughly entertaining family movie has a total running time of 99 minutes and is very highly recommended as an enduringly popular addition to community library DVD collections.
