VHS Movie Reviews of Fun and Fancy Free (Fully Restored 50th Anniversary Limited Edition) (Walt Disney's Masterpiece) [VHS]
Movie Review: Disney classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I have wanted a copy of this feature for years! I was so pleased that it was available on DVD. Such a precious combination of two of Disney's greats!
So glad to have found it. Not just for myself, but for my grandchildren!!
Movie Review: What's with the lame narration?
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved Mickey and the Beanstalk as a kid. As I recall , it had a pleasant narration. This version is narrated and intercut with cheesy comedy relief fom live actors and puppets. Its so annoying I couldn't even finish the cartoon. If you enjoyed Mickey and the Beanstalk, find another version. This one will only frustrate you.Movie Review: Beanstalk ruined
Summary: 1 Stars
The only reason to get this is for Mickey and the Beanstalk. However, instead of showing that cartoon straight through, it is interspursed with live actors (Charlie McCarthy's dummy), and not just cut scenes to the live actors, but they fade in and out from the cartoon the escapism of the Beanstalk is lost trying to make it 'funny' to see the dummy or kids reaction. What a waste!Movie Review: Bongo-- As I remember it
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember both Mickey and the Beanstalk AND Bongo, but have special memories of Bongo. In 1956, one of the Mickey Mouse Club records pressed by ABC-Paramount was the story of Bongo, parts 1,2. I first heard it in school, early in 1957; it was taped
to facilitate listening by my class. I recall how eerie the call
of the wild, "BONGO!" sounded, causing a chill to run down my spine; in the record, Cliff Edwards (as Jiminy Cricket) remarked that as the circus train moved into the night, with the circus traveling between cities, it seemed to be speaking to Bongo, but that it wasn't the circus train but the call of the wild. Yes, the video, Fun and Fancy Free, DID follow very closely the record that I heard. So did the Golden Book Bongo, and the story in Walt Disney's Treasury. So, when I obtained the video, what I heard and read about that wonder bear Bongo who was king of the circus DURING his act but then humiliatingly caged and escaped and became a WOODS bear, all came back to me. Even Cliff Edwards' remark about this being story of three bears, but not the one expected, came back to me.
Movie Review: Even the newest generation likes it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My almost-4-year-old has asked me every day since I got this DVD for him if he can watch it again (AND AGAIN). At first, I was afraid that my son would be turned off by the more "dated" elements (the 40s music, sweet narration by Dinah Shore, the almost-creepy ventriloquism)but not so. He's not even very familiar with Disney cartoons yet but he loves this DVD, which I think speaks volumes for the genius and timelessness of the old Disney films. As for the format being different from what some people remember (I'm 27 and can remember the Wonderful World of Disney on TV), it's really a minor thing and doesn't take away any of the joy of watching these shorts.
