hey guys,

I really need help trying to figure out what movie this is. all i can remember is that it's a late 80's early 90's movie. it was about these two teenagers who found these little creatures, i'm not sure where they found them, but i remember on of them hiding them in a basement.

I always remembered the scene where the teenage boy and girl were walking on a sidewalk down a street, and the girl had one of the creatures in a bird or hamster cage, but it was covered over by a cloth or blanket. and she wouldn't tell the boy what she had, then after him asking about it, she lifted up the showed him.

any ideas?

thanks, -Nick
