Actually I wrote about this topic about a year ago in this thread:

As for QT’s kids movie… I keep on thinking it will be a throwback to the ‘70s. There were a lot of great kids movies made back then.
… with spunky, cussing, ne’er-do-well kids that always got in and out of trouble but still seemed real and believable… not like the 80s and 90s films like Home Alone which seemed so manufactured.
Something like with Tatum O’ Neal from Bad News Bears (QT had a crush on her back then, and his first screenplay centered on a girl called Somerset O’ Neal who was based on her ).
Also another '70s kids movie that he might be inspired by is Kenny & Company made by Don Coscarelli in 1976 before he made the horror classic Phantasm. I remember Roger Avary saying it was one of his favorite films and one of the best kids movies ever made.

check out the comments! Pretty amazing and some interesting viewpoints.
I’m sure QT has seen it too and would recommend this almost forgotten gem.
I didn’t see it listed on Amazon… but I know you can get it pretty cheap $6.97 at Deep Discount DVD… <LINK_TEXT text=“http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct … Id=5736116”>http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=5736116</LINK_TEXT>
My mistake… it is listed on Amazon… just a little hard to find…

This is the type of kid’s movie I hope QT makes if he does.
