Movie Review: Cannon Movie Tales Finally on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Watch Christopher Walken dance as Puss in Boots and costar with Jason Connery, son of Sean, in this Cannon Movie Tale musical based on the beloved French fairy tale by Charles Perrault.
Here's the movie's description available from Sony Pictures: "Before he was a swashbuckling sensation in Shrek 2, Puss in Boots was already one of the most popular storybook characters of all time, thanks to his sly schemes and fearless bravado. Screen legend Christopher Walken (Catch Me If You Can) steps into the wily feline's magical boots in this exciting live-action version of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, complete with singing, dancing...and acrobatics!
"A dying mill owner divides his meager wealth among his sons, leaving only his beloved cat, Puss (Walken), to his youngest son Corin (Jason Connery). Initially disappointed with his four-legged bounty, Corin soon discovers that Puss is no average kitty. In fact, the cat's a brilliant strategist who concocts a daring plan to win both the king's favor - and the princess' heart - for his new master!"
The Cannon Movie Tale series of nine films has become nearly as popular among fairy tale enthusiasts and family film fans as Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Some would argue that this series is even more popular. Either way, these musicals are suitable for the entire family and feature well-known actors from the 1980s.
Movie Review: Woo hoo! It's about time!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps Christopher Walken's favorite movie and if you had the Disney Channel in the late 80s to early 90s it might have been your first. All of the Cannon fairy tales are worth owning and this is a particular delight to Walken fans, and yes, it is kid friendly.
Christopher Walken sings, dances, and embodies cattitude in a simple yet enchanting telling of the story of a clever cat who provides for his young master's fortune. The songs are memorable without being annoying, the comedy funny enough, and ofcourse it's all about the star. Filmed in 1988 Mr Walken was still in his physical prime and full of the dance skills he would latter bring to the Weapon of Choice video.
If you were determined or lucky you had a VHS of this, an official DVD has been long awaited. This is an absolute must for anyone with Walkenitis.
Movie Review: Don't be fooled by poor reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this movie and have for some time now. Whether or have children or not, if you like the tale of Puss in Boots you will probably like this movie. If you are prepared.
The acting isn't really all that bad, the writing itself is just campy, which some reviewers have shrugged off on the actors. I saw another review that said Christopher Walken should't dance and sing. Chris has been a dancer and singer since the start of his career and is very taleted. But again the songs and the coreography made hi look a bit lacking.
If you are expecting a masterpeice as a kids movie, you may be dissapointed. But if you don't mind somewhat campy ad VERY ADORABLE musicals. You will LOVE this.
Movie Review: i cant believe i found it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE all the Cannon Movie Tales, although when I was a kid, I think they were called Storybook Cinema on the Disney Channel. I bought this one for my 6 year old niece, and even though I havent opened it yet (Christmas is in a week) I look forward to watching it with her. I havent seen it since I was about 10. Sweet stories are hard to come by these days. I hope to get all of the Cannon movie tales for her, and when she gets a little older, I'm going to start the Anne of Green Gables Collection for her.Movie Review: Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this on the Disney Channel around 1988 when it was new. We recorded it and watched it many times. I finally found an original VHS tape on eBay around 2001. Now we can have it on DVD.
This is a delightful family movie. Not meant to be an Emmy or Oscar winner, it is a fun tale, is kid friendly, and has lots of funny stuff for all ages. And fun music and singing. This is definitely a winner for some inexpensive family entertainment.
