Hoomania (1985)
When Kris tells Sam Weatherfield, the inventor, about breaking his parent’s window and running away, Sam has Kris play a strange, colorful 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”.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Beautiful, moving film.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
HOOMANIA is the perfect kids movie, the movie might not move fast enough or be as interesting to adults, but if you are a kid you will be sucked into this movie and the journey of Kris Atwood making his way through an unbelievable board game to Mount Wisdom.As a young child I watched this movie 100s of times, and it sparked my imagination and fueled my creativity. - I also learned valuable moral lessons from the wise old Owl and I still laugh about the taunting from that daffy Dodo Bird (I still and will always laugh to myself about some of the things that happened in this amazingly made movie.)I recommend this movie to all those who are young at heart.
