Movie Reviews of Hans Christian Andersen
Movie Review: A great film classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film features One Mr. Danny Kaye, Two a fun fantasy story about Hans Christian Andersen, and Three many delightful songs. There is nothing vulgar, or crude, nor is there anything I would be ashamed to show any memeber of my family. The only real drawback to the story is that the ballet sequence where the story of the Little Mermaid is told runs a little long in my opinion. It is mainly a vehicle for the Star Ballerina
to show off her skills as a dancer. Danny Kaye is given the chance to display his manh talents, which he does to great effect. This is one of those DVDs you pull off the shelf on nights when the T.V. viewing is poor and you want to enjoy a good film.
Movie Review: One of my all time favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
I personally think this is one of Danny Kaye's best films, even though it's certainly not his most famous or popular. There are so many classic songs in here (Inchworm/2 and 2 are 4; Ugly Duckling; etc.) and Danny Kaye is a charmer here, much better than his more slapstick style in other movies.
The only part that I found somewhat tedious was the long scene where he's trapped in a storage room at the ballet and can only imagine what the dancing must be like based on the music he hears (I admit I sometimes fast forward past this bit). But otherwise it's a 5-star-plus movie for me!
Movie Review: A wonderful entertainment for the entire family
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this movie when I was a child and I enjoy it now again. The movie has two levels one that fit children and the other, which needs mature eyes and adult way of understanding. Every one can find in it something to identify with. The beautiful songs sung by Danny Kaye are very enjoyable and well known. The movie is based on some of Andersen's famous stories, "The little mermaid" is followed by a nice balet performance for all dance lovers. This is the second same DVD that I'm buying, the first one I sent as a gift to my beloved granddaughter Noa.
Highly recommended DVD.
Movie Review: Pure Joy
Summary: 5 Stars
Hans Christian Anderson wrote many of our most loved fairy tales, and this movie brings them to life with the incredible talent of Danny Kaye. you can see this with the whole family young and old alike, and i can guarantee you will be singing the songs for days afterward, including songs you already knew but did not realize came from this movie. This is a colourful joy to watch and just leaves you feeling good inside. I think Danny Kaye is great and mixed with some of my favorite tales and songs it is just PURE JOY.Movie Review: Enjoyment for all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first when I bought this movie, I was really excited since I remember watching this when I was little. I thought to buy this so that my family could enjoy it with me. The children hemmmmmed and hawwwwwed they wanted a different movie, this looked boring. I ignored them, put the movie on, and left to wash dishes. All of a sudden silence, the children were entranced by this movie and did not budge until it was over and then wanted to watch it again!
