Big - See a Classic Movie with your Kids
Twelve-year-old Josh is tired of being too small to do what he wants. He wants to be big, preferably straightaway. When he discovers an abandoned wishing machine at a traveling funfair, his wish comes true against all odds: he wakes up as an adult - but with the mind of a child still...
