    Help me figure out this movie...

    I’m trying to remember this movie I saw when young, but having a hard time to remember it. I think the movie is from the late 80’s ~ early 90’s. (Could had been a short TV series)

    What I remember is very vague, but it was a movie about a key that could open specific magical doors to travel to various places (I don’t remember if it was through time or dimensions). I think it was a straight to TV (I do remember watching it on TV). Don’t recall if it was a cartoon or not, but it was a very vivid movie. I do know is not Lil Nemo.

    I think towards the end, they had to find the door back to home or they would be stuck for ever. That’s pretty much what I remember, I tried to Google it but all I got was Lil’Nemo and Kingdom Hearts .

    Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Perfect thread to ask my question in.

    I've exhausted all of my efforts trying to figure out this movie.

    The movie is from the late 80's or early 90's. The plot as far as I can remember is that there is a subdivision with a bunch of vacant houses. A few local kids, 2 boys and a girl if i remember correctly, hang out in the attic of one of the vacant houses. At some point a trio of criminals show up and start hiding out in the house. One of the kids, I believe he had longer blond hair with glasses is quite good with technology, more specifically remote control devices, and they foil the thieves plan to hide out and get them caught.

    One scene I know I remember is that when the criminals break into the house, they feel across the carpet for sensors under the floor and mark the safe places to walk with empty cigarette packs.

    Sounds like it might be Remote.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    This is it. Thanks. Apparently some guy has uploaded it in 9 parts on youtube for nostalgia purposes.

    Another fact I didn't remember...it has an animatronic version of Hitler in it...
