Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I remember seeing this movie as a kid, it struck me hard enough that I actually have been trying to find it for ages. The plot as I remember was a group of kids that live on this constantly raining, constantly gloomy planet and the sun only comes out once ever few decades or so, everyone is looking forward to it but because of someones cruelty the main character misses her chance to play in the sun, sad ending. Some people have said this movie is alluding to Vancouver itself, seeing as how its rainy, dark and gloomy here 8 months out of the year, I think I can see that comparison but I don't know if Bradbury meant that or not. I want to to thank Lupin for finding the link on IMDb, thanks IMDb for having the best movie DB out there.

i remember watching this in 1982 when i was ten, and it was the first film to make me cry. i felt so sorry for margot and the cruelty she endured. Not to be mushy, but I was deeply touched and inspired by this film to treat people with blinding kindness. Wonderful writing, and brilliantly acted by the kids. In my memory forever.

Well, first off it is a great story, which I think the movie does it justice. Imagine living without the sun, if you are live to 42 years old you will see the Sun for a total of 6 Hours, well imagine being a child and seeing it for the first time. This Movie captures the emotion and wonderment of the children as well as the adult, with a great twist as only Ray Bradbury can turn.

I saw this movie when I was little and I have never, ever forgotten it. I agree with one commentee on the fact that the scene after the rain stops is quite dramatic. I remember crying, and actually feeling the deep sadness, anger, and unfairness as if I were the girl myself. Why can't they show this film on tv anymore? I can't even buy this film online. I just absolutely loved Wonderworks productions, and this was probably the best. It was as good as reading the story, and that hardly ever happens.
