Not Quite Human

Movie Summary

Released: 1987
Dr. Jonas Carson (Alan Thicke, "Growing Pains") creates an android, and wants to see if he can pass it off as a human being. So he quits his job, relocates and sends "teenage" android Chip (Jay Underwood, THE BOY WHO COULD FLY) to school with his daughter (Robyn Lively, TEEN WITCH). His scheme goes awry when a former employer (Joseph Bologna) realizes what Carson's made and kidnaps the robotic boy.

The film, based on a series of books by Seth McEvoy, originally aired on "The Wonderful World of Disney" and was quite successful. It was followed by two films, NOT QUITE HUMAN 2, and STILL NOT QUITE HUMAN.

This movie and its sequels were awesome. I wish they'd release them on DVD.

YES! I have been searching for the title to this gem for years. Finally, through the wonders of retrojunk.com i have found it. These movies were fantastic. I too wish for a DVD release, but I can't even find them on ebay or ioffer. Let me know if anyone can find them!!!!!

All 3 films were officially released on VHS in the early 90s, but I suppose that they're becoming difficult to find. As I've commented under other titles, Disney needs to acknowledge that they made a bunch of fantastic TV movies in the 80s which should be on DVD!
