This review is from: Tall Tale: The Unbelieveable Adventure (DVD)

This is a great movie,one of my favorites,
but Disney did a terrible transfer to dvd.
It only seems to have vhs resolution,and it
is only in full screen (clipped) instead of
wide screen giving the full picture the way
it was made!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tall Tale Brings legends to Life, November 7, 2009

This review is from: Tall Tale: The Unbelieveable Adventure (DVD)

Daniel Hackett(Nick Stahl) saves a small farming community from greedy land grabbers with the help of 3 legendary characters Pecos Bill(Patrick Swayze), Paul Bunyan(Oliver Platt) and John Henry(Roger Aaron Brown). Daniel's father(Stephen Lang) has told him the fables of these charatcers yet he refuses to believe until he is in desperate need of help. With the help of his new found friends Daniel saves the day. This movie is set in the mis to late 1800s I suppose and was a joy to watch. Cameo appearances are made by Burgess Meredith(Mickey from the Rocky movies) and Catherine O'Hara who plays Calamity Jane.
This movie is suitable for all ages and is an excellent fantasy/adventure film.

This review is from: Tall Tale: The Unbelieveable Adventure (DVD)

I teach 2nd and 3rd grade in CA. Part of our Language Arts curriculum is to study tall tales, and so, after learning all about tall tales; history, make up, and the famous American ones, we watched this movie. It was the perfect culmination.

Two things I would think about before watching the movie though:

1) Children can just watch the movie and enjoy it, but they will get so much more out of it if they know the tall tales behind the characters-Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, John Henry, Calamity Jane.

2) There is some violence in the movie. Not violence for violence sake, and no blood spurting, but definitely guns and punching in the manner of the "Old West" movies of the 50's.
