Summary: A Disney Favorite Compromised
Review: While we were thrilled to see that one of our favorite Disney comedies was scheduled for DVD release, we were dismayed by Disney's refusal to treat its films (and its fans) with respect. Why aren't Disney DVD's released in their original theatrical ratios? The new "Vault Disney" titles are simply wonderful, and while we agree that this title might not merit an elobrate release of that nature, it does deserve to be seen in widescreen. Disney could simply release both versions on the same disc and please everyone. We won't buy this DVD until it is released in widescreen.

Summary: Too good to miss
Review: Yes, the DVD quality is, shall we say, lacking...to put it mildly. But the movie is just too funny to miss. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out (I was 7) and loved it, but hadn't seen it since. Rented it in a fit a nostalgia, but was concerned it would prove to be too dated or too juvenile. Was I wrong! Ustinov is everything. His expressions, his lines, his delivery - all perfect. It was written at a time when one did not have to use profanity or toilet humor in a lame attempt to be funny. A reviewer on a rental site stated that they weren't impressed because "Ustinov is no Jim Carey". And we can all thank God for that. I laughed through the whole movie, which rarely happens when I watch something alone. Haven't purchased it yet, but I just may get the crummy version DVD just so I can have it. This is a gem. Don't miss it despite the poor quality - at least rent it if you can.

Summary: Disney, please come to your senses!
Review: Yet again, another title I would have been happy to surrender my money for, but I refuse to cater to this insulting breed of DVD release. I paid to see these flicks in the theatre, paid again to see them on the Disney Channel, paid for the VHS release, and now they would have gotten money from me yet again. For all of the money I have put in their pockets, am I unreasonable to expect the full width of the screen? Or a trailer? How about a cleaned up print?Apparently, it's too much bother and Disney doesn't care enough to make their catalog releases the treasured valentines they should be for the films' fans. Other studios manage to treat their older titles with some respect, but Disney seems to only be interested in shovelware, resulting in nothing more than the VHS edition on a disc. No thank you, I'll pass. Now, should they decide to completely exploit the people who make them rich yet again (by releasing "Special Edition" versions of these titles), I shall only have to buy them once. Otherwise, my VHS copies will have to suffice. In my massive DVD library, the only company that seems to be unrepresented is Disney. It breaks my heart, but it's their one-dimensional buffoonery that is at fault. I recommend all buyers boycott these releases.
