Does anyone know what this movie is? I was in the 80's and it was a boy who went up in a spaceship wioth all little aliens. They were all in jars. I rememer only pieces of the movie but know they were all sent to an institution type place then he escaped on the food cart... anyone, anyone. Thanks in advance.
