When i was in elementary school, i was in a program for advanced students. we watched this at the end of every year, and we looked forward to it every year. it was one of my fondest memories of that program. six years later, i finally found it and ordered it, and watching it brings back all of those great memories. sure, the story is totally out of whack, but the message that the story conveys is great. it doesnt matter who you are or who your parents are, but if you have someone that loves you and takes care of you, it is the greatest thing in the world. i'd reccomend it to anyone, and only hope it becomes more available in the future because i know of a few friends who want their own copies...

I first saw this on WonderWorks/PBS when it came out, when I was the same age as most of the cast, and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. Even though it is a children's story, it appeals to any age. There is humor throughout the entire movie, but above all it's just a really neat story (too good to give away). If you're into science fiction you'll like the concept, but even if you aren't, you'll still enjoy Konrad. Don't just take my word for it. The Chicago Tribune called it "One of the best children's videos you'll ever see, guaranteed to delight."

'Konrad' premiered 10/13/1985 on the PBS network (Public Broadcast Service) "WonderWorks" series, notwithstanding that Imdb.com considers WonderWorks to be a production company and a distributer but not a TV series. Although 'Konrad' was released 10/19/2010 on DVD by Timeless Media Group, the disc was mastered from videotape rather than from film so its apparent resolution remains that of videotape rather than the finer resolution a DVD is capable of displaying when it is mastered from film. This DVD's images also exhibit some artifacts (anomalies) characteristic of videotape, including irregular black edges on the sides and top of the frame and flashes of white across the top of the frame. Note that, since 'Konrad' was produced for television, it may have been shot on videotape rather than film, in which case this DVD could be as good as this movie can get. When played on a computer, the pointer may not activate the single option of the DVD menu (Play), so some keyboard combination, such as Enter, may be needed to start the movie.

This is a Good Family Movie.
I gave a 4 Stars for movie but when come to Picture quality then I will give 2 Stars.

I love this movie! It brings back good memories of watching it with my brother when we were kids. I have been trying to find it for years!! A yr or two ago, I found a VHS copy, but wanted DVD. And when I discovered the DVD I was so thrilled! The copy I received is mostly good, except the movie doesn't start when you press play on the movie's start menu. I had to open it up from another program to get it to play (though the play button still didn't work).

Although this movie might be just a little silly at times, it does carry some weighty topics such as families that are perhaps not as typical as others and the message that perfection is not always such a great goal.

Huckleberry Fox was in a film entitled "Mis-understood" starring Gene Hackman and Henry Thomas, with June Brown as the nanny.

Konrad is an odd little film in the fact that the child did not suffocate whilst in transit.

Huckleberry Fox looked cute in the extreme and the woman who got him by accident reminded me of an eccentric next door neighbour when I was a little younger than I now am.
The young Fox has a Beatle mop and seems to have the most un-describable expression ever. He arrives naked but we never see anything we shouldn't, (phew, that's a relief!). He is given some clothes that would never be found in a house where an older person lived, so she must have spent a small fortune on clothes for him.

Over all he has a rocky ride throughout the film, but he manages to stay put by some means or other. A good one for kids of a similar age to Huck at that time (about eight years old).

Great family movie, we have loved it for years! Shipping was even better than we expected, very prompt!

I was five years old when this movie came out. I'm not sure how old I was when I watched it for the first time, but I was way too young. For the longest time I was filled with horrific images that my imagination ran away with from this movie. This movie has never left my memory banks and I so desperately want to see it again! Now that I'm older, I'm hoping it won't give me nightmares!
