Movie Reviews of Fun and Fancy Free (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Movie Review: I'll take Charlie McCarthey & Mortimer Snerd over Von Drake anyday
Summary: 4 Stars
To those arguing that the live action of Edgard Bergen and company interrupts the continuity of the movie, the Von Drake additions occur at exactly the same points in the film. While it is true that the Bergen interruptions are each longer than the Von Drake interruptions, it nothing a child with a decent attention span and sense of comedy cannot handle. Quite frankly, I don't understand what is so "unsettling" about McCarthy and Snerd (i.e., the two dummies). These characters are classics. If your children cannot handle it, maybe they are too young for the scary parts of the story as well. In any case, it's nice to see this classic restored to its original theatrical version.
Summary of Fun and Fancy Free (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
FUN AND FANCY FREE, Walt Disney's 9th full-length animated masterpiece, is a delightful gem that not only sparkles with charm, but is unbelievably rich in history-making Disney moments. It was the last animated feature starring Walt Disney as the voice of Mickey Mouse, and the only film featuring all four of Walt Disney's most famous characters -- Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket. Following Disney's classic tradition of great storytelling, unforgettable characters, music, and adventure, FUN AND FANCY FREE is the joyful telling of BONGO and MICKEY & THE BEANSTALK, two timeless tales magically brought to life by the beloved Jiminy Cricket and the masterful combination of animation and live action. And now, in celebration of its 50th anniversary, FUN AND FANCY FREE has been beautifully restored so a whole new generation can experience the magic of Walt Disney's original theatrical vision -- for the very first time! One of Disney's happiest films ever, FUN AND FANCY FREE makes a valuable addition to your Disney video collection.Fun is probably worth the purchase for "Mickey and the Beanstalk," the second half of this combo-film. "Beanstalk" includes the last performance by Walt Disney of Mickey Mouse. It also has Donald Duck and Goofy as comrades who climb the beanstalk in their back yard to face Willy the Giant. This segment actually achieves the goals of the film's title. The first half, however, is "Bongo," the story of a addlepated circus bear. "Bongo" is more poky and interest-free. Dinah Shore warbles and narrates the segment, and it goes on much too long for its purpose. Don't trade your cow in for it. --Keith Simanton
