VHS Movie Reviews of Fun and Fancy Free (Fully Restored 50th Anniversary Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS]
Movie Review: Very Good but not Great.
Summary: 4 Stars
Fun and Fancy Free is a pairing of two short animations, a forgettable one about a circus bear called Bongo and the much better 'Mickey and the Beanstalk'. Now, having said that Bongo is forgettable I should say that he has proved a great hit with my two young (3 and 4 year old) daughters. Whilst Bongo is something of a throwback to pre-war animation style, 'Mickey and the Beanstalk' is bang up to date (for the time) despite being very much a folk tale. The scene where Mickey and co are so poor they ration out their bread by cutting it into slices so thin they're transparent particularly engauged the attention of my older kid, who immediately wanted me to do it!Both animations have evidentally been cleaned up and are pretty much flawless, both visually and aurally. There is none of the scratchiness associated with originals of this era. Colours are both vibrant and consistent and the sound quality particularly good and full of body.
Disney animation releases on DVD have been improving (painfully slowly) and this one includes a (very) few welcome extras. The most important extra (for me) is the documentary on the making of F&FF. The kids though prefer the read-along stories that are also included. The Disney archives are massive (I've seen them), one day perhaps they'll see fit to include more related material (stills, deleted scenes, background character info., etc.) on the DVDs. There's certainly plenty of room and since so many of Disneys customers (aka cast) are aficionados, it would do sales no harm at all.
There are still a couple of features I'm not keen on though. Why do Disney releases start with an FBI warning? None of my other DVDs do. Also, why has the ability to skip past the adverts at the beginning been disabled and the adverts not just been placed as a menu option? People will look at them there occasionally but don't need them in their face every time. The DVD has been bought and paid for, so it's not like the adverts are subsidising the price or anything.
Still, over all this is a resonably good package and well worth buying for either Disney fans or young children.
