VHS Movie Reviews of Wishbone: Prince & Pooch [VHS]
Movie Review: The Prince and the Pooch
Summary: 4 Stars
I grew up watching Wishbone on the Public Broadcasting Network. I always enjoyed the episodes and how they could give the basis of the plot without being too complicated for young children to understand. For me, that was a tremendous asset since I never understood the plot of the BBC or Masterpiece Theatre classics when I was seven or eight years of age.
The Wishbone episodes provided me with the opportunity to understand the major focuses of the greatest works of English and American literature (although some episodes include a work of literature from ancient Rome, Greece, or Africa.) Some of MY most memorably episodes are: "Pantin' in the Opera", "A Bone of Contention," "Paw Prints of Thieves" (released on DVD), and "Dog Days out West" (released VHS).
This Wishbone episode is relatively interesting (at least for a child who enjoys literature). However, like all Wishbone episodes, it is geared towards children. As a 19-year-old English and Political Science major, the episode (and all Wishbone episodes) seem very simple.
For example, the Wishbone version of "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain leaves out the character of Miles Miles Herndon and his evil brother Sir Hugh. It also simplifies the major themes of "injustice" and "poverty" to leave the remaining theme of "be careful what you wish for" since Tom Canty (played by Wishbone) dreams of being Edward Tudor, the Prince of Wales (also played by Wishbone), and Edward Tudor also wishes to live Tom Canty's life for a day.
Back in Oakdale, for the modern-day comparison, Joe and David gets their wish to coach a tee-ball team and discover it is not as easy as they thought especially with Leon King (played by a different and younger actor than in "Dog Day's Out West") insisting that winning is ALL that matters.
In short, I enjoyed Wishbone episodes as a child since they acquainted me with great works of literature (especially the pronunciation of names). As an adult, the episodes appear very short and elementary.
