Movie Reviews of Candleshoe
Movie Review: There is David Niven and David Niven and David Niven.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those cute films that are safe for kids. It has the Disney signature all over it.
Casey Brown (Jodie Foster) is recruited and in cahoots with a con man and his wife. The wife used to work for the family of a castle and can teach Casey how to fool her way in as a long lost relative. Once inside she is to find the alleged treasure of a pirate captain. In the process of searching she is forced to cooperate with the family which is trying to scrape up enough money to save the castle. She appears to be softening up.
David Niven gets to play several characters (Colonel Dennis/Mr. Gipping/Mr. Priory/John)
Where will her loyalties lie?
Is there really treasure or is it just a story?
And why is the butler never seen with the gardener?
The Moon-Spinners ~ Hayley Mills
Movie Review: WIDE SCREEN, BUT NEEDS SOME RESTORATION!
Summary: 4 Stars
I BELIEVE, AS I AM SURE MOST OF THE OTHERS DO, THAT DISNEY SHOULD PUT IN WIDESCREEN EVERY DVD THEY SHOULD ATTEMPT TO SELL. THEY NEED TO RESTORE EVERY SINGLE ONE AS WELL, IF IT IS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD. NO ONE CAN TELL ME THAT THEY CAN NOT AFFORD IT, WITH ALL THEIR THEMEPARKS AND SUCH. I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY THESE INFERIOR DVDS HOWEVER, AS THEY HAVE A NASTY HABIT OF RIPPING THESE AWAY FROM PUBLIC VIEW FOR MANY YEARS AT A TIME. THESE FILMS ARE FAR BETTER THAN THE APPALLING, SOMETIMES VULGAR, TRASH THAT THE DISNEY NAME NOW OFTEN REPRESENTS ITSELF WITH. FOR SHAME. I WOULD BOYCOTTALL DISNEY ITEMS IF NOT FOR THE WONDERFUL FILMS OF YESTERYEAR. THE REMAKE OF THE PARENT TRAP IN ADDITION TO MULAN IN 1998, WERE THE LAST DECENT ONES, AND THEN THE MAGICAL WORLD OF DISNEY WAS NO MORE, PROBABLY GONE FOR GOOD. NO DOUBT SOME OF YOU AGREE.Movie Review: An oldie but a goodie..
Summary: 4 Stars
Classic Disney movie worth watching and owning. I recommend this one for the whole family. It is full of antics and kid drama.
An orphan on the street finds out she may be the inheritor of the rich "candleshoe" estate. Only the estate is poor shape. The orphan (foster)has to come to the estates' rescue.
Movie Review: Candleshoe
Summary: 4 Stars
Helen Hayes and David Niven are always outstanding and this is no exception. They bring real old world charm to what might otherwise be a bit too pre-teen slapstick "children vs. crooks". Overall very good family entertainment showing solid principles of individual contribution for family success and unity.Movie Review: Great family movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw candleshoe on TV as a kid. While shopping on Amazon I remembered this movie and looked for it. Sure enough, Amazon has it! I watched this with my kids who loved it every bit as much as I did. Its a silly, but funny Disney movie.
