Enjoyable tour of the Disney studio…
Disney film incorporating several animated shorts with live-action tour of Walt Disney’s studio in Burbank, California. Robert Benchley gives a colorful “performance” as a guest of Walt’s (who makes a cameo), meeting animators and storyboard-editors while pitching the movie idea of a shy dragon. This picture, more a playful stunt than a memorable entry in the Disney canon, features some gorgeous animation and a lovely switch from black-and-white to color early on. It’s more likely to appeal to nostalgia-crazy grown-ups however, instead of restless kids. Look for appearances by Goofy, Donald Duck, Bambi, and…Alan Ladd?! **1/2 from ****
Not really enjoyable – unless it’s watched in context
I can see why the public was less than amused with this movie by Walt Disney (yeah, I can see people thinking they were cheated out of their movie ticket). It has very poor animation, and lots of corny live-action stuff.BUT… when watched along the rest of the tin DVD box (Behind the Studios), the movie becomes a joy to behold. The whole animation process is shown as a nice overview of what people had to go through just to get a 10 minute short ready. Absolutely amazing!
