Movie Reviews of Hans Christian Andersen
Movie Review: Anderson a blast
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew on Danny Kaye and other mogals of that age and i think i can safely say that Hans Christian Andersen is one of the best movies he's been in. It's a heartwarming story about the life of writer Hans Christian Andersen, told through song and dance as well as great acting. It's not one of Danny's more comical pieces, being a bit more serious, but it holds his classic trademarks in film.
The filmitself is a wonderful tale of hope and inspiration, of moving around in the world and up in the world when the world doesn't necessarily appreciate you or your efforts to help make the world a betterplace. Danny's acting skills are amazing and are definitely worth the watch. I'd get a copy for everyone in my family. This is definitely a classic.
Movie Review: Delicious performer, wonderful introduction to ballet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I fell hopelessly in love with Danny Kaye when I was 8 years old, and I'm still crazy about him many years later. . . no other performer of whom I'm aware has ever shown his unique combination of comic virtuousity, tenderness, silliness, physical bravado and dramatic depth.
He could also really sing, not just comically but straightforwardly, in his naturally rich, sweet lyric-tenor voice. If you really listen to the "Inchworm" song, you will hear just how fine his voice really was.
The ballet sequences in the movie transfixed me as an eight-year-old ballerina wannabe. Maybe they look hokey to present-day grownups, but I bet most kids would immediately understand.
One of the best movies ever!!!!
Movie Review: Magical Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this movie, I was in second grade and staying overnight at a friend's house. It was on t.v., and while she was wanting to play with something else, I was entranced. I wasn't one of those kids that watched a lot of t.v. growing up, preferred to be outside, but this movie is magical. Danny Kaye just seems to have a way with children. Now that I have a 2-year-old, I see that it wasn't just me. My son loves the movie and especially the little stories and songs from Andersen's tales. While it may be fanciful and not biographical, it still has the power to entertain with beautiful sets, beautiful music, and the very talented Danny Kaye.
WHY AREN'T THEY RELEASING MORE OF DANNY KAYE'S MOVIES?
Movie Review: danny kaye
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie was a child hood favorite
my mother use to make my brothers and i sit and watch certain family classics and this was one of them, my mother is now passed and my husband has been helping me save precious memories by buying me all those old classics! received this one for christmas this year.
i have found that many many people my age(mid 40's) never heard of this movie and i think it is one to watch with your little ones! ages 5-12 especially with the garbage they watch on todays TV. 13-the older teens would probably not enjoy it as much unless they come from a very sheltered and disciplined home life.
this is clean language and i would class it as a musical.
Movie Review: Hans Christian Andersen
Summary: 5 Stars
In a time when I find I must wear a disguise that includes facial hair and nerdy eyewear when attending an R rated movie, the innocence of this production is a delight. I saw it when it originally came out many years ago. When I revisited this film, I immediately returned to the security and optimism of childhood. The storyline is not to be taken literally, of course, but then the movie is more about Danny Kaye than Andersen. If you are overcome by unemployment, Congress, Ponzi schemes, the war in the Middle East, and gang activity in your neighborhood, take a look at this and see what the world looked like when we didn't despair every time we read the paper or view the evening news.
