Movie Reviews of Bob Clampett's: Beany and Cecil
Movie Review: Help, Cecil, Help!
Summary: 4 Stars
It was with some trepidation I plugged this DVD into my player and hit the "play" button. Would my fond memories of Beany, Cecil, Dishonest John, Go-Man Van Go, and most of all, SnORky, be revived? Or would it just seem something enjoyed a long, long time ago that was no longer funny?I should not have feared! This wonderful DVD presents a pile of stuff related to Beany and Cecil, including some of the original Beany and Cecil puppets which, for me, did seem a little dated.
Ya-ah-ah, have no fear because the animated cartoons 1) look great; B) sound great; III) are so cleverly written they are as entertaining at 46 as they were when I was 6! Most of my favorite episodes are here: SnORky, Go-Man Van Go, the Leopard Who Lost his Spots, etc. All I could ask for is pulease release the rest of the cartoons on DVD!
This DVD is entertaining for old and young alike, though the oldsters may have to explain some of the beat jokes to the youngsters. Or just turn and say, "don't bugs me, man, don't bugs me!"
Movie Review: A Labor of Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone (Bob Clampett's son?) obviously spent a lot of time compiling this collection of cartoons, kinescopes, audio recordings and home movies. It gives those of us who actually remember this stuff a real feeling of "being there", and a better idea than ever what was going through the parties involved's minds. Hours and hours of interesting and often (still) hilarious entertainment, and a real "time machine".Movie Review: A "Must See" for Educational Purposes!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sea-ing Cecil in fantastic DVD quality should make Beany's propeller hat spin faster than Linda Blair's neck. Babyboomers who assume kids today would never appreciate this inspiring duo are failing to take responsibility for educating their children. A simple and guaranteed method exists to indoctrinate their spongey little minds into a full appreciation for wonderfully bad puns that AT LEAST make them THINK about context in relation to the English language. The trick (as I have adequately demonstrated with my own children) is to get them watching the boy and his serpent buddy BEFORE the likes of "Dexter", "Cow and Chicken", and "Johnny Bravo" pop onto the scene--In other words, be proactive in dodging the idiotic nonsense often seen on "Cartoon Network" (which provides a few good cartoons as well). My kids can't stand the stinking stuff because they were originally exposed to intellectual types such as Baby Huey, Porky Pig, and of course the mild mannered creations of Tex Avery and Bob (no relation to Jed) Clampett. Colorful character names such as "Captain Huffenpuff" and "Dishonest John" are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of early childhood development. Clampett's "Special Edition" production contains some Titanic episodes that really rock the boat! This DVD is truly heaven sent when one considers its overall superior quality, historical insight, and gossipy tidbits about the creator (of our subjects at hand!). Super duper, double deluxe, plain old ordinary 1950's entertainment and fun! It goes without saying that the innocent and unassuming Cecil would be proud that his DVD even comes in a snap case.Movie Review: A cool cartoon!
Summary: 5 Stars
Watching this DVD did not bring back any memories for me because I am only 12. My technology teacher showed it to my class demonstrating the DVD player. I thought that it was a really neat and funny cartoon. I am going to buy this DVD. I recommend this to anyone. Also, you are getting your moneys worth with this DVD. It is loaded with hours of cartoon footage.Movie Review: A TIME MACHINE
Summary: 5 Stars
FANTASTIC TRIP BACK IN TIME AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON THE TIME MACHINE ITSELF! IT BROUGHT BACK A FLOOD OF MEMORIES TO A TERIFFIC CHILDHOOD.IT'S TOO BAD KIDS TODAY WON'T APPRECIATE IT BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF BABYBOOMERS WHO WILL.
