What makes it different from others?

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I first saw this film in 1975 when I borrowed it from the public library. It's about a little boy who wakes up to find himself alone in the world. He walks into a bank, a candy store, a toy store, drives a cable car (and crashes it into a parked cable car) and a fire engine. The climax of the story is him flying an airplane up to the moon. I won't spoil it by giving away how it ends. (Since it is very difficult to find a copy to watch, there is still the hope one might be able to.)It is just an absolutely delightful film, a true classic in its own right. I don't know who owns it or who has the rights to it, but I believe if they were to make this film available to the public on DVD, it would achieve cult status.
