Summary: Stars Over Rome, Georgia
Review: Believe it or not I starred in this movie. It was filmed on location at Berry College in Rome Georgia and featured the Rome Boys Club Choir which I was a member of at the time. This was the most fun i've ever had and actually starring in a movie was the thrill of a lifetime. This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen and I highly recommend it.

Summary: The Best Movie Ever
Review: I love this movie. I have watched this movie at least 50 times. It is in my opinion one of Walt Disney's best. I cried the first time I saw this movie when Taylor and Landy walk up the aisle and shake hands and then Landy goes up and sings.This is a must see for everyone!!!

Summary: UNREALISTIC
Review: It is 1959 and southern Blanton Academy has been blessed with its new choir master. Unfortunately he is from the north but in time he will lock step with southern tradition. Enter,Taylor the academy's star soloist and Landy, the Black janitor's grandson. The two form a friendship based on their mutual love of music. Landy is enthralled by the classical pieces of the choir while Taylor falls in love with the blues. Throw in racial tension, hatred and a few beatings and you would think you would have a thrilling picture. It doesn't happen. Disney has given us a sanatized version of civil rights entering in a small town. You see injustices, naivite and misplaced loyalties but most of all you get poor acting. The actors somehow lost their southern accents. We are made to believe that the headmaster is dumb enough to be influenced by an adolescent. The only redeeming factor of this movie is the music from both genres. The story itself is flawed given the time period in which it is introduced. There are some things that are hard to believe given the context. If you want a nice moral story which will bring a few tears and make you indignant by all means this is the movie for you. If you are looking for a story with depth and a deeper exploration of young Black and White relationships during this time period get something else.

Summary: Vintage Disney
Review: This movie perfectly exemplifies what the Disney brand used to stand for before Michael Eisner started leading Disney into its present controversial direction: a quality family movie with a heartwarming, redemptive, and educational story; the kind of movie that families used to trust Disney to make consistently. The numerous excerpts of classical music, from Handel's "Messiah" to Haydn's "The Creation," are presented in a very entertaining and lighthearted manner. They are thus an excellent tool to teach younger children about this style of music in a way that's not stuffy or pretentious. My own early introduction to opera and classical music was through the vintage Bugs Bunny cartoons, like "Rabbit of Seville" and "What's Opera, Doc." This movie can serve much the same function for introducing children to oratorios and lieder. In the process, they will also receive a wonderful morality tale about looking beyond our outer differences to the person that's inside.

Summary: Great Disney movie!
Review: This title should be in the directory under the Disney and family genres. Currently, there is another video with the same title from 1995 listed that is actually a classical music video. This movie I highly recommend. Great Disney film.
