I apologize to my readers for the multiple delays in getting this review out; life has been quite busy. So without further ado, let’s take a look at another “boy and his animal” Disney film, Rascal!
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
In 2011, the owner of Ohio’s Muskingum County Animal Farm, Terry Thompson, committed suicide, but not before letting loose 50 of his 56 exotic animals he owned into the wild. These animals ranged from lions to tigers to monkeys. What happened next was a nail-biting situation wherein law enforcement had to go hunt these wild animals to protect the public from harm. Citizens were warned to stay indoors and strange occurrences took place such as a woman watching in horror as a wild cat chased her pet horse and signs on the highway informing drivers to be cautioned for exotic animals!
Imagine driving down the highway and seeing that sign!
In the end, law enforcement managed to kill most of the escaped animals (a few were eaten by the other animals) and the panic was over. Ever since then, I’ve always wanted someone to make a movie about this incident! It would be incredibly suspenseful, thrilling, and even delve into the world of horror somewhat. Alas to date, nobody has made a film about this incident, so I must satisfy my curiosity with other fictional films about wild animals on the loose.
This brings me to today’s Disney film about an escaped circus tiger, A Tiger Walks, directed by Norman Tokar. Read on for my review of the film.

Norman Tokar is a name we’ve come across many a time on this blog. He’s directed a plethora of live-action Disney films that range from amazing (The Happiest Millionaire) to terrible (The Boatniks). Today, we take a look at the very first film he directed for Disney: Big Red!

Hidden treasure, country landscapes, and English accents, what’s not to like Directed by Norman Tokar and based on a book written by Michael Innes, Candleshoe is one of those live-action Disney films that should be more well-known. Without further ado, here’s my review of the film!

Sometimes you come across movies that you’ve never heard anybody talk about before. This is one of those times. Is there a reason that people don’t talk about this one? Or is this actually an underrated gem? Read on to find what I think of the 1970 film, The Boatniks!

Today, I tackle yet another request from a fellow blogger and friend, Simoa, from Champagne for Lunch. You could say that the film she requested is out of this world! It’s The Cat from Outer Space.
“Not sure if that’s an interesting or stupid title….actually no, it’s a stupid title.”
Yeah, the title is quite stupid. Was the film stupid too or did I actually find myself enjoying it? Let’s go through my review to find out!
