SquirrellyMama Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Has anyone seen this movie and know the title? I watched it as a kid in the 80's. The plot was about kids living on another planet because earth was inhabitable. There was one girl who kept bragging that she had seen the sun once because the others had not seen it before. They locked her in the closet and the sun came out. The kids got to play in the sun while the girl was locked in the closet. Anyone?

KarenNC Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I don't know if it was a movie. I remember it as a short story, I think set on Venus. I'll poke around a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 All Summer in a Day? Thank you! It was made into a tv episode but it was only 30 minutes. I guess to my child brain it seemed longer. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It's based on a Ray Bradbury story of the same name: All Summer in a Day. Editing to add that I cried when I saw that as a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrellyMama Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I only saw that tv episode one time when I was young but it has stayed with me for a long time. I'm printing out the short story and I'm going to read it to my oldest and then let her watch the show on YouTube with me. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
