Right now thank you for taking us along with you. Such memories. ❤
Well we now know why you love Zoltar so much. Great vlog Jordan I enjoyed it very much. Thanks.
Ever since I watched the movie as a wee lad 12+yr ago, I've been wanting to use a Zoltar 🧙♂ WISH machine. I know I'm not the only one. 😅
Another movie I need to see. I really liked that house and the neighborhood. No grass to mow and pretty landscaping.
One of the best films ever made. I’ve not seen it in years but you can bet your life I’ll be watching it this weekend.
Thankyou. This is so awesome!. The best movies came from the 80s and 90s.
Imagine in 40 years people visiting the movie sets of today? They could just hang a green screen up in thier lounge room.🤦♂️
Aww my boyfriend from like 20ish years ago lived just a couple houses down from “Josh’s” house. He was in school down in Atlanta where I live and we went up there one summer to visit with him family at his childhood home right there in Cliffside Park and I just remember being so blown away/excited… so nostalgic 🥰🥰
BIG was one of favorite movies as a kid. One of Tom Hanks best movies.
This movie brings back so many memories from being a Kid in the 80's. I've always wondered if the people who live in these homes know that a major movie was filmed in their home. Great filming location ,thank you Jordan.
I will admit I got all teary eyed watching this , and I think it’s because I was once that kid.
Tom Hanks ROCKS 😊❤ LOVE LOVE LOVE his Movies and I have always heard great things about him. Really great to see these Locations. Thanks as always Jordan ❤️🥰😍🇨🇦😘🫶
I remember back in the UK during Christmas time we always had repeats during UK TV and the movie 'BIG' would always be repeated along with 'Planes Trains and Automobiles' and this film always reminds me of my childhood and the feeling of it, thank you so much for shooting this video, a big fan from the UK, it makes me want to go watch that iconic 80s movie from the 80s right now!
Takes me back to my childhood. I sure miss the 80’s.
"Big" was always one of my favorite films of the 1980s as a kid. Thanks for sharing this with us Jordan and Jaws!
Jah😂
I worked at Playland in the summers of '85 and '86. I lived a few miles away in Port Chester at the time. Of all the rides I operated, the Bumper Cars was my favorite. I had the longest lines because I made up games for the kids. I'd have the red and blue cars team up against the yellow and green cars, then every so often I would switch it up so that the red and green went against the blue and yellow, and I'd do every color combination. One time there was only one yellow car being used so I told all the riders "Get the yellow car!" and the kid in the yellow car was like "NOOoooo!". lol After the ride was over, they all run out the exit and get back in line to ride again.
I went there a few times in the late '80s with my father and grandparents.. It is one of the few times I had a positive interaction with my father. I think I went there at least twice maybe three times..it's funny how you do things as a kid just a few times with certain people and it's stuck in your memory
The FAO piano playing scene and just being able to have a paying job to play with toys totally got me as a kid with this movie, ugh love it so much ❤
Jordan you are amazing @ researching these movie scenes.
One of those movies that you watch every time you come across it. Loved seeing the actual locations. Great video Jordan!
One of my favorite movies of all time. I'm glad you did this!
This was a magical movie at the time. Thanks for all the information about it and for showing us the filming locations. I wonder what the 2 boy actors are doing now. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Enjoyed again Jordan, Jah memories
awesome tour of my fav movie Big, a child’s wish to be big played out in such a fantastic movie- who else wanted to be big like I wished too when I was growing up
One of the great movies from the 80’s! Well done Jordan, another awesome filming locations, thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for the locations of this Great Movie.
The part where he tells her she’s the only reason he is hesitant to go back. 😢
I like to think Josh looked her up after he had turned 18 and ended up together.
I LOVE this movie! Awesome to see these locations. Great video 😎✌️
Tom Hank’s is a favorite, since Bosom Buddies!! What a fun experience! You did an excellent job with this video!! I felt like I was there enjoying the sites!! Thanks!!
Love that movie and we loved going to Playland all of our lives being from New York. The dragon coaster in the park is so much fun and also seen in the movie in the date scene.
Hi Jordan, you do make me laugh when you are singing. What a great film, I think we all wanted that wish to be big when we were kids, now it's the reverse. Great vlog Jordan.
Thanks very much Jordan. This was and still is one of my favorite movies.
I like Tom Hanks he's one of those actors who can do just about any role handed to him.. thanks Jordan!
Great nostalgic movie and love these locations. Thanks again Jordan. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Another great video, whoever did the editing for you on here, they did a awesome job, I love seeing the actual movie spots when you're standing in the same place, great job.
I edit everything
@@DazewithJordantheLion you do a great job on all your videos.
@@DazewithJordantheLionGREAT WORK Jordan! 👍
I’m so glad I have this movie in my recordings. Thank you Jordan for taking us to these filming locations. It brings back all the nuances and awkward moments of growing up. Penny Marshall did a great job in directing “Big” and Tom Hanks capturing the ways of a child in a man’s body & and his young friend staying in character as Josh’s friend was spot on as well. Elizabeth Banks also interacted perfectly with Tom Hanks. Also, seeing Jah relaxing was priceless❣🐾🙏❤
This was fun, Jordan. Thanks for recreating the Big movie for us.😊
Big is such a good movie. Thanks for sharing.
I’m from Denmark, and I too adore this film! Thank you for taking us along, it’s so surreal to see such locations 35 years later (and no doubt way more surreal to see in person)
Thanks for this video :-)
That is just awesome! I have always loved that movie and didn't realize all those places still excisted!
Thanks Jordan this was great to see these filming locations from Big always thought they filmed at Playland
Fun movie. Thanks for taking us along.
One of my top favorite movies. Thanks Jordan ❤

What a great movie! thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Jordan. One of favorite movies. It's nice to know where it all took place. Scratch Jah, give him a treat for us, and hi to Katie! 🥰
I like this sort of stuff! Just discovered your channel. When I was once in San Francisco we took a tour and when we went by the house from Mrs. Doubtfire I could hardly keep my composure! I was more intrigued then seeing the golden gate bridge. Something about being right there at something I saw on TV, it was so amazing to me.
Thank you Jordan I love this movie. It's great to see filming locations.
Yeah this is probably my all time favorite lion heart chapter, absolutely marvelous.
Great video, I'v always loved this movie, it's amazing to see those locations are real and still look like they did back when Big was made.
Thank you for sharing this was so good! I agree loved this movie!❤️thank you Jordan 🇨🇦
You do Great! This movie makes Im in my Fantasy world❤ I was a teenager and still in love❤ Thank you❤
I was about the age of Josh when this came out. Thanks Jordan! Awesome movie
Thank you so much for bringing us along as always this is so amazing one of my favorite movies growing up thank you for showing us what it looks like nowadays
Big is also one of my favorites aside from Shawshank Redemption. Thanks for sharing.
Great recap of the locations!
BIG: One of my favorite 80s films by far! I'll tell ya though. You set me straight Jordan...All this time, I didn't realize the 1st Zoltar scene was filmed near the George Washington Bridge in that park in NJ. When I first saw your narrative, I was like " wait a minute, I thought it was shot in Rye Playland, NY!" Then as I watched I saw the 2nd Zoltar scene and realized I was partially right. All this time, I had it wrong...and I'm from NY lol. Penny Marshall did a superb job with this film. so touching yet funny. Tom Hanks was incredible. Thank you Jordan for enthusiasm and great narrative on this film. We feel the same way you do!
Another great video Jordan brought back a lot of memories of my childhood. Have you ever thought of exploring where Forest Gump was filmed? Thanks again.
One of my favorite movies!! Thank you for taking us along and showing the other filming locations. Hello to Jah!
Super special video! I love that movie too! Thanks for sharing!
Another great locations tour. Gotta watch this movie again. Thanks Jordan and Jah.
Wow, this video hit hard. Big resonates so much with me, as I'm sure it does many others. It was a huge part of my childhood. I've always wanted to go to Playland Park / Seapoint. Hoping I'll make it one day.
Great vlog. I love that movie!
Always enjoy these vlogs! Well done Lion👍🏻
Glad you like them!
Love this movie Thank You Jordan!!!
Yeah i love this movie 🎬 it's one of my all time favorite movie's ever
Love Playland ,my dad is from Peekskill NY . I went a lot as a child.
Great video, Jordan. 😊
So so so cool…. Thank you
Thanks Jordan that was fun.
Really cool video Jordan! Thank you!!🙂👍
Thank you so much for this I love it ❤from 🇦🇺
Amazing, loved this movie since the mid 90s and still have the limited run of Howard Shore's score of 750, I bought back in 2000
DUDE!!!! THIS movie I’ve watched at least 100x…ugh I wanted to find this exact Zoltar machine, movie is so dang good 👍🏻
I always love your videos!
Benn part of playland as a kid growing up in Scarsdale and now working for Westchester Parks Dept. which we ran Playland up until last year. Not much has changed scenic wise over my 45 years alive. Rides have been changed, the New York Rangers hockey team used to practice there for decades but now practice down the street from me in Tarrytown NY, about 15 minutes away. Jordan, you should stopped at the Tiki bar in the back there, nice place for a drink and some lunch or dinner
I always wondered if Seapointe Playland was still there. I really enjoyed this. Thanks!😊
I liked Tom hanks in the movie big he was also good in forest Gump nice filming locations 👍 good vlog.jordan vickie napa california
I just got done watching this movie and I had to find out where this last park was located.. Great video 👌
Thank you!!!!! Loved this!!!!!
Great job!
I love this 🎥❤❤❤
Playland is a landmark so nothing can really be changed. It’s been the same since I was a little kid
You also could’ve added Josh and Billy’s school which is not far from there. I used to have my dance recitals there as a child. Scenes were also filmed on Anderson Avenue in Cliffside, however, it has changed a lot since 1988. I was a kid when this was all being filmed and lived in the next town over!
One of my all time favorite movies! Bro your channel is sooo good
Always forget it was directed by penny marshall...her granddaughter lives here in Portland hoping to meet her she was talking to a friend about her grandmas starring on the simpsons as the baby sitter bandit.
Great job Jordan! I love this film! I had the same idea to do this also at one point.
