(SPOILERS AHEAD!)
I don’t know what I was expecting from this movie, but I definitely wasn’t expecting a political battle of slogans in a town whose citizens are scared of the threat of monkey labor taking their jobs!

The Shaggy D.A. (1976)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
Robert Stevenson is a name that live-action Disney film fans would be very familiar with.
A British film director, his most famous films were the nineteen that he directed for Disney, many of which I’ve already reviewed including Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Today we take a look at what would be his last film for the company (as well as his last film overall), The Shaggy D.A.
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
The Million Dollar Duck (1971)
(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!)
Today’s film is a somewhat infamous one. It has notoriously received negative reviews and was was one of only three films that the renowned film critic, Gene Siskel, walked out of in his professional career!
So naturally I had to check this film out! And after getting a request to do so from a reader, Jon H, I felt the time was right! Do I agree with Gene Siskel on this film? Or do I find this to be an underrated comedy? Read on to find out!

Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on March 10, 2020!
That Darn Cat! (1965)
(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!)
Directed by Robert Stevenson, That Darn Cat! proves to be an interesting entry in the live-action Disney films lineup. It was Disney star Hayley Mills’ last of six films she made for Disney (not counting future TV sequels) as well as future Disney star Dean Jones’ first of ten films he would make for Disney (again not counting cameo appearances in future remakes). But is that the only thing the film should be noted for or is it actually worth remembering for its quality? Let’s take a look at That Darn Cat!!

Just when you’ve thought we’d seen all the Dean Jones Disney films already, another one appears to prove us wrong! Is the Norman Tokar-directed Snowball Express a hidden gem or best left covered in snow? Read on to find out!

This review of the third entry in the Herbie series is due to the request of an animation and film friend of mine, Mike Kobela. Without further ado, here’s my review of the 1977 sequel, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo!

(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!)
Can Peter Ustinov act in a bad film? Maybe so, but his performance is almost always amazingly enjoyable! Is this true of the 1968 Disney film, Blackbeard’s Ghost? Let’s find out!

The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit (1968)
(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!)
On September 1, 2015, actor Dean Jones passed away at the age of 84. Disney fans were quite saddened by this as the lovable actor with “boyish good looks” was a staple in many live-action Disney films acting in 10 total!
To pay tribute to the man, I thought it appropriate to review one of his films. I’ve already reviewed one of his films on this blog already, The Love Bug. This time, I’m reviewing The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit.
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
