Originally called VANISHED
was originally a more serious movie...but with DISNEY in the driver's seat, they had to make it more cartoony, and fun; which explains the disconnect between the first and second halves of the movie.

shareI don’t think that makes sense as a title but David did vanish. I’ve always liked this movie and it’s one of the best Disney movies to come from the 80s.
shareI don't think it would have worked with that title either; Titles are very important.
For example, DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD was originally called THE REAL WORLD, because she has to get a job!
Would never have seen it as a kid if it was called THE REAL WORLD. lol
" Titles are very important. "
They are LITERALLY the least important thing in existence. Everything would still be the same with different titles or even without them. You are still you without a name, or with a different name. This movie would still be just as good/bad with a different title.
How are titles important, what makes you believe in such nonsense?
I don't like when people just say something as if it's a fact and never elaborate or explain their stupid, wrongful OPINION in any way.
I have often talked about how names are irrelevant and insignifigant beyond their pragmatic use, and in the long run, they become dead pointers to something living, so they shoudl AT LEAST be renewed.
Then here we are, someone saying that 'Titles are important' without qualifying or explaining that particular remark at all.
Have you never heard of the saying that rose by ANY other name, would still smell as sweet? That saying HAS A POINT.
Names are practical, so are all kinds of incorrect labels, like 'cold' or 'dark' (nothing ever is either, even the 'coldest thing ever' is still measurable as some amount of 'heat', no matter how little), but that Titles are somehow IMPORTANT!?
Important to whom, what and how?
I rather have a good movie with bad title than vice versa.
The STORY is important. GOODNESS of a movie is important. The rest can go F themselves, I don't care HOW bad some title is, if the story/movie is good, and NEITHER SHOULD YOU. Sheesh!
"I don’t think that makes sense as a title but David did vanish."
What movie did YOU watch?
David NEVER VANISHED. He was always somewhere. Does someone vanish in your opinion, if they take a holiday in another country? Just because you and your mates don't see them, doesn't mean they VANISHED.
David did NO such thing, he was ALWAYS in existence, he did not vanish even for a second.
What are you on? What movie did you watch? I can't explain how anyone could even remotely think David vanished. What the F?
