Glitterball

When a group of small, round aliens accidentally abandons one of their own on Earth, adventurous kids Max (Ben Buckton) and Pete (Keith Jayne) stumble upon the "Glitterball" and attempt to return it to its mother ship. As the children learn more about the friendly alien and its magical powers, they must protect their new companion from an army corporal (Andrew Jackson) and a small-time thief (Ron Pember) who are hunting the extraterrestrial for their own cruel purposes.
