Movie Review: Where Is Snowball Express???
Summary: 5 Stars
Slowly but surely, Disney is finally rereleasing their classics, their best work by far. This film is no exception.Dean Jones is just a normal hard working man when he receives a visit from a lawyer telling him he has inherited a hotel out in the middle of nowhere from a relative he'd basically enver heard of. When he gets this news he quits his job, and in a unique way at that!
He breaks the news to his wife (Nancy Olsen), daughter, son, and dog, who think he's lost his mind. So the family sets off for Silver Hills, Colorado to take over as managers of their new inheritance. When they arrive, the hotel is FAR from running. It's been run down for years, so with no job, it's up to the family to fix it up and get it running again as fast as they can. Dean then discovers that he has more land than he thought, and decides to change it into a ski lodge. This decision will forever change their lives!
Snowball Express is filled with fun and comedy as Dean continues to steal the show with Disney. If you like The Ugly Dachshund and Blackbeard's Ghost you will enjoy this!
I hope that when and if Snowball Express is released again and on DVD for the first time, Disney will give it some respect and make it worth OUR while!
Movie Review: A Walt Disney Classic that will have you Laughing
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in the only movie theater in Bedford County when I was a teenager, and I laugh so hard that my gut hurt. Dean Jones plays the role of Johnny Baxter, Nancy Olson plays the role of Sue Baxter, Harry Morgan plays the role of Jessie McCord and Keenan Wynn plays the role of Martin Ridgeway. Sitting at his desk in an office with other people at a job that he hates is approach by an attorney. Johnny fines out that he has just inherit a hotel in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. So Johnny quits his job and packs up his family that's leaving the fast pace life of New York City to move out West. However the fun begins when the Baxter's find their estate in a total dilapidation. What's worst is Martin Ridgeway the town only bank is waiting in the wings hoping the Baxter's decide that life in Colorado isn't what they thought it was.
Movie Review: MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS ONE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen SNOWBALL EXPRESS since my folks took us to the show when it first came out. I loved it then, and still do.
I tell my babies about shows I saw when the Earth was young and they say, "Aww, those are boring, nothin' is happenin'". But then they get to watch SNOWBALL EXPRESS-and they laugh and laugh and laugh, on and on. When the show's over they want to watch it again and again.
It is sad they have no extras or bonus features on this. I wish they would have advertised more mocies using some of these same actors, for example BISCUT EATER with Johnny Whittaker, and the one where he attempts to film a Dracula movie with his younger brother and stumbles into a crime ring(Title is long forgotten).
These early Disney's are GOLD, and they sure need to bring more of them out.
Movie Review: Classic Christmas Movie for our family
Summary: 5 Stars
Along with "White Christmas" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" this is a classic movie we watch every year while baking cookies or wrapping presents. What a great movie, upbeat and good family fare.
Some of the newer "family Christmas" features are fun, but lack a plot or interesting characters. "Snowball Express" lets you cheer the good guys and boo the bad guys (who are still good for a laugh at the same time.) Keenan Wynn, Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H*) and Mary Wickes, a trio of veterans, turn in outstanding supporting roles.
This movie is from the golden years of Disney when they knew how to make good family movies, enjoy it with your kids this Christmas!
Movie Review: Wonderful Winter Family Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film holds a special place in my heart. As a little boy, my brothers and I loved it so much, we would rent it from the library every chance we got. In fact, growing up in Seattle, this film was the first memory we have of ever seeing snow! It is a great, happy Disney family film - filled with laughs and slapstick humor - Dean Jones is especially entertaining as he learns to ski. Luckily, I will be able to share this film with my children as Disney has decided to release it on DVD! Recommended for the whole family, especially the younger ones - curl up together with a cup of hot chocolate and put in this classic family film.
