It’s kinda weird that for my “newer Disney movies review”, I’m doing 2 sports films back-to-back. I didn’t plan it that way; that’s just how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
Today, we’re going to look at a movie focusing on cross-country running, a sport that I’ve personally never thought about much less watched a film about. Is it any good? Let’s take a look at McFarland, USA!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on September 21st, 2015!
50 Movies Milestone!
Hello readers,
I’ve finally hit a milestone and reviewed 50 movies (well, 52, to be precise) on this live-action Disney blog of mine. When I started this blog in 2013, I did it out of a desire to watch and review these films as this was a niche that nobody else seemed to have covered. It also helped my blogging skills and has been great fun! I’m glad that I never quit and actually made it to the big 50!
I wanna thank you readers for making this blog as such a success as it is and giving me a reason to continue it! We’re far from finished, but I just wanna say I appreciate all that you’ve done so far!
So to celebrate, let me know in the comments which has been your favorite review of mine on this blog. Also don’t forget that you can click on the Index button at the top left to see an alphabetical index of all the movies that I’ve reviewed so far. You can also click on the Ranking the Films button on the top left to see how the films rank so far from best to worst.
Thanks again! Here’s to the next 50 films!
The Gnome-Mobile (1967)

It was one of the last films personally produced by Walt Disney. However it’s not a particularly well-known film. Since there’s nothing more I can say in the introduction, let’s jump straight into the review. Let’s take a look at The Gnome-Mobile.

No, it’s not Mary Poppins.
Miracle (2004)

Kurt Russell is no stranger to Disney. Since the late 60s, he joined the Disney Studios and acted in many films including The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Barefoot Executive, Superdad, etc. He even lent his voice to Disney’s The Fox and the Hound. Heck, when Walt Disney died, legend states that the last words he left were “Kurt Russell” which he had scribbled onto a piece of paper!
So, I’m kinda surprised that I’m only now reviewing a Kurt Russell film on this blog. To top things off, it’s one of his later Disney appearances! That said, it’s not a bad film to start with either.
Based on the true story of the “Miracle on Ice” event that took place during the 1980 Winter Olympic Games, Miracle introduces a new generation to this phenomenon. Without any further ado, let’s take a look at Miracle.

Hot Lead and Cold Feet (1978)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! You can find a link to it at the top left-hand corner of this blog. Thanks!)
So, funny story: this was supposed to be the first movie I reviewed on this site due to somebody requesting it, rather than me choosing it all on my own. I was under the impression that a commenter by the name of “act” had suggested this movie for me to review, so I finally got around to obtaining this film (he suggested this back in October 2014), watching it, and reviewing it.
But, as I was editing this review, I went back to the original comment posted by act and realized that I had made a mistake. He didn’t suggest this movie; he wanted me to review a movie called No Deposit, No Return!
How could I have made the mistake? Maybe because they’re both Disney films from the 70s, both have titles that are around four words long, and both feature actors Don Knotts, Darren McGavin, and John Williams? It’s possible. Maybe I just misread the original comment? That’s possible too.
All in all, I’d like to apologize to act if you’re reading this and I’ll do my best to get to reviewing No Deposit, No Return as soon as possible! I appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, we might as well go through Hot Lead and Cold Feet together now since I have the review prepared already.
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Post Delayed!
Sorry again for the delay! I have final exams this week, so I’m busy studying for them. Once they’re finished, I’ll be able to post the newest review. Thanks for your patience!
