Editorial Reviews

The innocence and magic of a childhood dream. The charm and adventure of a well told fairy tale. And the heartwarming thrill and human drama of a mother and child reunion. "The Enchanted Forest" is the captivating tale of a year old boy, lost in a vast redwood forest and saved by Old John (Harry Davenport) and his animal friends. This 1945 classic is a film no family should miss!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe it!, February 21, 2000

This review is from: Enchanted Forest [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm shocked! I look this video up and I find not even a picture of the video, and a notice that it goes in and out of print! I saw this video a thousand times, and it isn't just about a boy who learns something from an old man- It's so much more than that! It's about a painter who is granted a gift of magic and the ability to talk to the forest animals. He saves the forest using his knowledge and love of nature. I can't believe this movie is so hard to get!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanted Forest Review by Win and Jan Severn, January 4, 2001

This review is from: Enchanted Forest [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a family film, a heart-warming story loved by children and enjoyed by adults as well. Once considered a family classic, approved for showing in elementary schools in the 40s and 50s, this film still has great meaning. The trained animals show off to the delight of all ages. Behind the interesting story line is a conservation theme that old-growth trees should not be carelessly harvested to the detriment of the forest creatures.

This review is from: The Enchanted Forest (VHS Tape)

I enjoyed this movie trememdously. It is a story filled with nature, animals and one adorable little boy and his dog. The scenes have a magical, dream-like quality as an old hermit who lives in the forest and teaches the little boy to be gentle and loving toward all living things. Lessons are taught, but the movie is so charming that you don't realize you are learning something. I think even today's children (the movie was made in 1945) will appreciate it.

You can't go wrong watching this movie.
