It’s finally on Disney+. Apparently as of May 25. It’s been so damn hard to find. Had to be 25+ years since I’ve seen it.

Why hasn't it been available?

Key Factors in the Delay
• Rights fragmentation: Hyperion/Kushner-Locke ownership changes over the years split rights across multiple entities (production, international distribution, etc.). Older licensing deals often didn’t cover modern digital/streaming, leaving the film in a legal gray area or “unstreamable” for platforms like Disney+.
• No full ownership: Unlike the direct-to-video sequels (To the Rescue and Goes to Mars), which Disney controlled more completely after the first film’s success, the original had lingering third-party interests. This is why the sequels were on Disney+ much earlier.
• Digital/streaming era mismatch: Pre-streaming contracts focused on physical media and broadcast, so negotiating or clearing rights for Disney+ (launched 2019) took years of legal work.

Legitimately an outstanding children’s movie. Definitely in my rotation as a kid.

The A/C spazzing out and frying himself is a terrifying scene for a small child.

Is that the one that George Carlin does a voice for?

I watched the absolute frick out of this movie as a kid. One of my favorites.
Completely agree with facher the air conditioner's panic attack was one of the more frightening things I watched as a kid.
And yes Phil Hartman is definitely the guy you're thinking of. He was the air conditioner.

We had it on VHS when my daughter was a youngster.

Yeah, this was pretty creepy back in the day for me

Watching this today with my 10 yr old. Thanks!

We watched that a couple weeks ago. Tons of nostalgia singing those songs.

There are several that are like that. That scene. The shop scene with the creepy arse hanging light.
And the junkyard scene at the end with the cars singing as they are sent to their death by the car crushing machine.
Seriously. Listen to the lyrics of that car song. It’s pretty horrifying.
They are all singing about the former lives they had as if confessing right before they’re inevitable deaths. But that being said, the movie itself is awesome. It has a very real sort of feel to it. And it’s gritty. And also an adventure film. It just works.
I’ve owned it on DVD forever and watch it with my son occasionally. He likes it but not as much as I did when I was a kid. But it still holds up pretty well. I love it.

Loved this movie as a kid.
Made the mistake of watching it with my 3 year old and didn’t remember how scary some of those scenes are. She just stared at the screen quiet as a mouse during the AC scene and the whole time I’m thinking “oh shite should I turn this off” lol
