Big 30th Anniversary (1988): Zoltar Speaks Clip

Fathom Events, Turner Classic Movies and Twentieth Century Fox are bringing Big to select cinemas nationwide for a special two-day event, which includes exclusive insights from TCM host Ben Mankiewicz.

If BIG were made today, there would be a 20-minute section of the movie explaining why the Zoltar machine was magical.

[eclecticreader]

If I spotted a magical Zoltar nearby I would wish to be a kid.

[tarantulagirl]

The zoltar machine terrified me as a kid. Even more when he realises it’s not plugged in.

[heroblok]

Never fails, whenever I hear the music when the Zoltar machine turns on, it brings me right back to my childhood . That mysterious gypsy music. They just don't make movies like this anymore- I hope our future generations get nostalgia from art, cinema and anything like these old movies did for me ❤

One of the creepiest, eeriest scenes from a non-horror movie ever...

[MissPunkRose]

I always thought this was the coolest scene as a kid. As an adult I have a Zoltar Speaks shirt!!

[richardchant]

I love how a gust of wind starts to blow as soon as he reads the card.

[Snowbird_]

I would wish to be a kid again in the 90’s.

[Jdabomb]

I get the feeling that he was the only one that could see this machine. It’s like a Genie manifested just for him, and no one else.

[vlastaleistikow]

My favourite movie! I was a teenager and completely flabbergasted of Zoltar❤❤❤This movie is The Best and The Best of all Times❤❤❤❤

[Rebecca-zrlu]

Thank you God for renewing and restoring our youth. Thank you for forgiving us for wanting to grow up too fast and also for wanting to stay a baby in the word for too long. The middle, the balance God, thank you for it. Thank you for forgiving us for wanting to know the future.

Zoltar scared the shit out of me as a kid

[Grimzy_]

Damn thing gave me nightmares as a kid. It’s so unnatural moving and that breathing it does is pure nightmare fuel

[emrahavatar]

I was a little scared as a child, i asked mother how did the machine work when it's not plugged in, she said "it's a demon, it feeds off he's anger " wth mom

[allthatpinkdisneymagicx]

Just walked past a Zoltar machine at a seaside town I'm at and now I need to watch this movie again.

[SuperBenette]

I love this Zoltar, he gave me lucky numbers, I use them in daily life situations, like 11 -8- I allways try with these combinations to win something, never won much but I never lost.

[moralcoach]

I like how as soon as he makes his wish the kids playing in the background start to fade away

[sifugurusensei]

A lot of good scenes. I wanna watch the whole film again.

[Dave-kopr]

I always remember when Josh looks at the floor and sees it isn’t plugged into anything to power it !

[ZemiraRowan]

OMG, love this film so much as a kid. <3
