That might have been ok, save for his friend who accidentally breaks one of the rules. One becomes two, becomes four, becomes They are quite cute and cuddly little critters, so no harm seems to be done - until one of those gets hold of a late night snack and then the malevolent Stripe emerges to take charge of a veritable army of hungry and fairly lethal menaces who proceed to trash the entire town. Now, poor old Billy and his friend Kate (Phoebe Cates) have to try and find some way of getting t...
