When young Kris tells Sam Weatherfield, his friend the inventor, about break-
ing his parent's window and running away, Sam has Kris play a strange, color-
ful game called HOOMANIA.
As Kris places his piece on the board, he is zapped INSIDE the game, full of
life-sized animated characters like the daffy Dodo Bird or the goodie-
gobbling Sluggards. These crazy creatures, and others, either help or hinder
Kris in his race to Mount Wisdom.
Through his fantastic adventure, Kris learns the true meaning of "wisdom."

Weird? Strange? Surreal? WTF?!? Certainly all these adjectives could be
used to describe this little film.
But others could be used as well, such as Cute, Heartwarming, Uplifting and
Funny.
I stumbled upon this back in 2015 on a torrent, have watched it three times
so far, and finally found a reasonably-priced DVD copy so I could share it
with y'all and make my own scan of the cover (you know me and my insatiable
cover fetish... :blush: ).
It's a quirky little Christian claymation production with a Cutie that app-
ears for the first eight minutes and the last five minutes (he's a clay char-
acter inside the game through the middle of the movie).
I found the 22-minute Behind the Scenes featurette to be very interesting.
It chronicled the entire process from idea to funding to production to
marketing (and had some nice behind-the-scenes photos of our Cutie hero :) )
It has some atrocious, cringe-worthy 'Christian' songs sung by the characters
inside the game, but features a somewhat catchy little opening number named
"Trouble Ought to Be My Middle Name," sung by Pat Boone.
And finally, on a purely prurient note, my most grateful, heartfelt Thanks go
out to the fine folks in the wardrobe department for costuming young Danny in
