Disney drivel. Who is the audience for this?
After Jiminy Cricket's lengthy pointless song, we get a romance between a circus-runaway boy bear and a wild girl bear, with a jealous rival wild boy bear. I mean, does the romantic nature of this mean boys get fidgety? Surely adults don't find this fun/interesting. Dinah Shore narrates and sings.
I've previously seen the second half with Mickey et al doing Jack and the Beanstalk. Edgar Bergen and his dummies narrate (and heckle), and that aspect is unfamiliar.
I never could understand Donald Duck's words; no different today.
This is torture. Not sure why it's worth a 5 instead of a 4; because Jack & Beanstalk is a classic tale? Each of these stories merits about 7 minutes, not 37.
Warner animation had layers that appealed to many ages. This doesn't appeal to me now. Maybe when I was 5?
Disney, dir?; 5-
