Yes this movie was made in 1974 and released in 1980 and yes the actress did get bigger through out the time it was all part of the plot she started off small and through out the years filming she got bigger haha it was all part of the role, the movie its self is pretty epic but the girl Anne who played the Beautiful Boomerang should of came back near the end just to say you made it or something I don't know lol Totally would of loved a Second movie. I gave this movie 8/10 as a professional rating but as a personal rating i give it 10/10 haha i just like it it could of been more the catchy little songs haha are cute haha
