If Time Bandits hit the spot, these will too

Both land warmth and comfort at once
The difference: Trades the wit of Time Bandits for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: time travel
The difference: 26 years apart, and the 1950s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: time travel

The same mix in both: dream logic, then scale

Family with a pulse of warmth, in both cases

Both lean on comfort more than on fantasy

Dreamlike adventure in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Cerebral science fiction, and it commits to that

Comedy built on wit, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Time Bandits does

Common ground: magic

Cerebral family in both cases

Both lean on scale more than on fantasy
