Today’s review is a request of one of my friends and followers, simoa. A lover of Pixar, animation, and classic Hollywood, she also runs the Champagne for Lunch blog. She’s a fan of Roddy McDowall’s and wanted me to review two of his live-action Disney films, so today we’re taking a look at The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin. (Let’s hope she doesn’t kill me after reading this review, lol!)

Without further ado, this is The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin!

You all know my feelings regarding these live-action remakes that Disney is doing of their animated films: I’m against them in principle, but if a film happens to be good, I’ll admit to it being so. Having said that, there were only 2 planned Disney remakes that didn’t irk me; I actually was somewhat open towards. One of them happened to be the subject of today’s review: The Jungle Book.

Directed by Jon Favreau, I felt that The Jungle Book was a book that had been adapted many times already, so I didn’t feel that this would be a remake of the 1967 animated film, per se. But, that doesn’t stop me from pointing out the differences between that film and this film. Without further ado, let’s take a look at this 2016 adaptation of The Jungle Book!

Sometimes on my journey through these live-action Disney films, I come across films that are forgotten gems. Other times I come across films that are better left forgotten. This film happens to fall in the latter category. Sit back and enjoy as we review the 1956 film, Westward Ho, The Wagons!

Everyone knows that Disney made a live-action remake of their classic animated film, The Jungle Book, this year. What many seem to forget is that this isn’t the first time that Disney has made a live-action based on Rudyard Kipling’s book. They had done it already in 1994 and we’re gonna take a look at it today at the request of one of my regular readers, oscarstainton. Enjoy!
