OK...not the best movie ever, but if you are willing to endure 1986 TV production and Hillary Wolf's extremely romantic ideals about love (not to mention poetry worse than that written in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"), you might get something out of it.
Wolf is Christine, one of two kids who are accidentally kidnapped when Paul Sheridan (Ted Wass) mistakes a car for his own identical one. Same keyholes and everything.
Sheridan is on his way to an interview when he pulls over at a roadside eatery. At the same place is the aforementioned identical car, driven by William and Joan Franklin (Tony Randall and Audra Lindley) on a Sunday Drive (gaah...too many history questions to last me this one movie). Christine is their niece, and she has a brother, John Elliot. Christine and John Elliot hide under a blanket in the back seat, while Sheridan's dog Bud (a German Shepherd) is under an identical blanket--also in the back seat. So naturally the cars get mixed up. Added to the mix is Franny (Carrie Fisher), a woman Paul picks up in order to get her to Australia (she has to catch a boat, and her broken-down car was robbed--talk about an emergency!). You can guess what happens next.
Might be clichéd, but I didn't mind it at all.

Is it just me or have all the previous comments been penned by Aussies?
Anyhow, I watched this film expecting to see cell animation. I was rather surprised when instead I got a computer-animated movie. And, although a little choppy (I never noticed that in any previous CGI films, so I'm bringing it up here) there are some nice visuals. Oh, and yes, there is a story.
The story is that Alice, the youngest person ever to go into space, is propelled forwards through time. She crashes in Lapland, and is rescued by Ewan and a stewardess robot we know as "Maria".
Anyhow, the thing spins off into a convoluted plot involving Alice's son Nero and a freedom fighter. But who is the enemy? Is it Nero or is it the fighter known as Nikolai? I'm not going to tell here.
All I'm going to say is: look for the video. I just don't know whether or not it's available
