Check out this video that I did on the YouTube channel, Rachel’s Reviews, with Rachel and Larry (from LC Screen Talk). We did a pitch session where we pitched ideas for live-action Disney movies that we think they should make. Then, we voted on which ideas we liked best. Hope you enjoy!

Today’s review is due to the request of Amanda Sorrento, a friend and YouTuber, who adores Rick Moranis! Check out her YouTube channel here!
I remember Honey, I Shrunk the Kids being a popular family film that people talked about during the early ’90s. However, I don’t think that I’ve personally seen it before. The film was said to have been mostly praiseworthy for its special effects and noteworthy for being Joe Johnston’s directorial debut. The film went on to be a box office success resulting in a theatrical sequel, a direct-to-video sequel, a TV series, and a Disney park attraction.
Was I in love with this film as much as audiences seemed to be? Let’s find out! Here’s my review of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!

Well guys, I did it. I finally did it. I found a live-action Disney movie that’s worse than Prom andOld Dogs! You don’t even need to read the rest of this review; this is the worst live-action Disney movie that I’ve ever seen for this blog so far!
“Oh well, no need to read further. Byeeeee!”
Sigh…I guess the review must go on. Released in 2002, The Country Bears was the second theatrically-released Disney film based on one of their park attractions.
But, it was the first one to be released through the Walt Disney Studios label itself! Also, Disney made a Tower of Terror TV movie back in the day, so this is technically the 3rd “based-on-a-park-attraction” Disney movie!
For many people, the Country Bear Jamboree attraction at the Disney parks, is somewhat of a cult classic. It’s a beloved must-see for many! I personally have only been on it once, despite having gone to Magic Kingdom multiple times in my life. I actually went on it last year, to be precise, and…I wasn’t a fan of it at all!
“Burn him!”
So when it came time for me to watch this movie, I was hoping it would be better than the attraction…sadly, it wasn’t. Without further ado, let’s take a look at The Country Bears.

Before I get into the review, I firstly wanna apologize for how late this review is! I ran late on editing it.
Secondly, I wanna point out that this film was one of the few films that Disney made in black-and-white. However, it was later colorized and I happened to watch the colorized version. I would have preferred to see the original black-and-white version, but this was the copy that I got my hand on. So without further ado, let’s take a look at The Absent-Minded Professor!

In 1961, the horse diver, Sonora Webster Carver, wrote a memoir about her life entitled A Girl and Five Brave Horses. 30 years later, Disney released a film based on the memoir entitled Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. Fortunately, Mrs. Carver was still alive at the time to see the film (she lived a very long life dying in 2003 at the age of 99). I personally hadn’t heard of this film at all until I decided to watch it for this blog. Did it break my heart? Read on to find out!
Well, readers, I’m back from my vacation and just wanted to let everyone know that this month is my 4-year anniversary for this blog! I honestly never thought I’d have enough support and interest to be watching and reviewing these live-action Disney films for 4 years! Thank you all for reading and I hope you’ll stick around for as many more years as it takes to complete this project!
I’ll be going on vacation by the end of the week, so I won’t be posting my next review until I get back which should be in about 2 weeks’ time. Sorry for the delay!
