You can't top pigs with pigs, but apparently you can top dogs with dogs. At least, you can if the author of the book says it's okay. Why he decided to write a sequel to Old Yeller when the main character and the heart of the story dies in the end is beyond me, butContinue reading "Savage Sam (1963)"
Miracle of the White Stallions (1963)
It's crazy to think that an event that caused so much strife at the studio is far enough behind us to serve as a setting. Walt lost nearly all his animators and a huge chunk of money to World War II. Now it's historical fiction. A lot changed in those twenty years, but it's stillContinue reading "Miracle of the White Stallions (1963)"
Son of Flubber (1963)
Of all the characters on this blog that I would want to spend more time with, Ned Brainard is not high on the list. In fact, he might be at the bottom. But it's not my choice, so let's bounce on back in to Medfield College. Ugh. https://i.imgur.com/TCyw0sy.jpg Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational andContinue reading "Son of Flubber (1963)"
In Search of the Castaways (1962)
More Verne? More Verne??? More Verne????? More Verne! More Verne! MORE. VERNE!!!!! ... I'm really excited about this, can you tell? The last movie we watched based on a Jules Verne novel remains my favorite new-to-me film so far. Let's see if this one holds up to its predecessor! https://i.imgur.com/wJsWmb5.jpg Disclaimer: This blog is purelyContinue reading "In Search of the Castaways (1962)"
The Legend of Lobo (1962)
Walt. My man. Stop trying to make True Life Fantasies happen. They're not going to happen. This movie seems to be compared to Nikki a lot more than I'm comfortable with, so I'm not going to lie, I'm terrified. My blood's up already. Hopefully it's just that the dog and the wolf kinda look similar.Continue reading "The Legend of Lobo (1962)"
Almost Angels (1962)
I feel like I'm lost. This is a movie with no dog. No Tommy Kirk. No Fred Macmurray. Am I in the right spot in the timeline? If only an angel could come and guide me back! Am I just making bad jokes because I don't know what to say about choir boys? You betcha.Continue reading "Almost Angels (1962)"
Big Red (1962)
Dog movies on this blog have a history. Either they're really good and rip out my heart or really bad and make me want to rip out the filmmaker's hearts. Let's see which camp this one falls into! One of the actors doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. https://i.imgur.com/ka6PF0y.jpg Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreationalContinue reading "Big Red (1962)"
Bon Voyage! (1962)
The Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno in Walt Disney World's Boardwalk is a wonderful experience, and one of the only breakfasts in Disney I will wake up early for. However, I'm rather tired of finding articles about it. That is not what this review is about and that is not what I'm tryingContinue reading "Bon Voyage! (1962)"
Moon Pilot (1962)
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind! Well, maybe not that big. After all, we've been doing these cheap, silly comedies for a while now. They've mostly been pretty forgettable, but maybe this one will be different? I'm just hoping the chimp doesn't pick up a gun again. https://i.imgur.com/kKZOpFs.jpg Disclaimer: This blogContinue reading "Moon Pilot (1962)"
Babes in Toyland (1961)
Sooo I totally meant to get Babes in Toyland up by Christmas. That... didn't happen. Oops. Merry Christmas in March, I guess? That's a thing now. Totally. https://i.imgur.com/DQ1VNnP.jpeg Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.
