    Hysterical. I read an article the other day that said at one point it actually went backwards.

    “It deals with escapism, adventure and the inevitable failure of childhood fantasy”… This sounds like the statement to keep in mind for the project.

    However, imagine that the plane had taken off and flown? It would now longer be about escapism, but reality and adult goals, like a trans-Atlantic flight in a rubberband powered balsa plane.
