Movie Review: One of the best Disney adventures ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
Speaking as one who owns not the DVD, but rather the VHS version of this film, I have to say that I grew up with this movie my whole life and recommend it highly.
"The Treasure of Matecumbe" is one of the finest Disney movies ever made, my favorite at least. Yes the 1970s were some fine years for the movie making company, and this is just another example. Highly unknown and underwatched, this movie is a classic. Starring the great, English, Peter Ustinov, and the lovely Joan Hackett, this story takes us back to old Civil War days, with stories and maps of stolen Union gold buried deep in the hot, southern country of the Florida Keys. Young Davey Burney and friends embark on a dangerous race against rogue Union officer Spangler and his men in search of the buried treasure. "The Treasure of Matecumbe" follows them on their adventure from the grassy meadows of Kentucky, on down lazy southern rivers into old New Orleans and beyond to the unknown Florida Keys.
The wonderful thing about this movie is just how authentic it is, made back in a time when Disney was a little less Hollywood-ized, and a little more real. It is pleasantly coupled with humor, as well as historical accuracy, and includes the finest actors for their parts. When you watch this movie you will feel as if you've stepped back in time as well. A truly well made adventure with a wonderful backdrop. This movie is so much fun for the whole family, and I couldn't have been happier when I'd found that it was finally available on DVD.
This is a movie that you can afford to take a chance on even if you have never seen it before. Believe me, it is a good investment because I guarantee that you will probably not buy a better Disney movie any time soon.
From deep within the Disney vaults, "The Treasure of Matecumbe"
