Summary: Family Fun at its Finest!
Review: I have such fond memories of watching this movie with my parents and my sister. We watched this movie every time we went on a skiing vacation or whenever we needed a good laugh. I am disappointed that the film is not released at this time. I hope that Disney will release it again soon so that I can share this film with my family again and, eventually, with my own children!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I remember seeing this film when I was a Kid and I have rented it
every year around Christmas and watch it with my family. Glad its out on DVD. Good to see them re-releasing some of the good
older wholesome films ? You will laugh until you cry as the movie goes on.

Thanks BB

Summary: DISNEY DOESN'T GET IT!!!!
Review: John Baxter, an accountant from New York, inherits a Colorado hotel from a great Uncle. Tired of the rat race, John packs up his family and moves to Colorado, imainging a new life as the owner of a prosperous hotel. Unfortunately, all is not as he had hoped: the hotel is way, way, way out of town and is in desparate need of repair. Baxter tries to get a loan from local banker, Martin Ridgeway, who has his own ideas about sneaking the hotel away from Baxter.

This is a great movie for anyone between the ages of 5 and 13, who will probalby like all the slapstick humor and silly situations in which Baxter finds himself as he tries to get the money to keep his hotel from foreclosure. ( I remember really enjoying this movie as a kid. Now, the film seems a bit out-dated, the humor somewhat forced.) The acting is good, with many well-known stars: Harry Morgan, Dean Jones, Keenen Wynne, and Mary Wickes.

The DVD has no extras. It's a fun Disney film that kids are sure to enjoy.

Summary: DISNEY DOESN'T GET IT!!!!
Review: No wonder the company is about to be taken over and broken up -- DVD was introduced to be an alternative to video, to offer more than video: better picture, more extras, and most importantly, more picture. Letterboxing. Widescreen. The complete image. So what does Disney do? They take some of their most beloved live-action films such as this one, and dump it on DVD in full-frame editions. What is the point of that? Who isn't used to widescreen DVDs yet? Why should I waste my money replacing my old Disney videos with the same crappy full screen image as before? Disney just doesn't get it, and their sales show it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious, typical Disney 1970s fluff.
Review: Released by Disney in the 1970s, it is typical Disney 70's style. This time Dean Jones plays an accountant fleeing the rat race of city life,via the inheritance of a delapadated ski resort. Complete with Keenan Wynn, once again, playing the villian (remember, The Absent Minded Professor and Herbie Rides Again).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where Is Snowball Express???
Review: Slowly but surely, Disney is finally rereleasing their classics, their best work by far. This film is no exception.

Dean Jones is just a normal hard working man when he receives a visit from a lawyer telling him he has inherited a hotel out in the middle of nowhere from a relative he'd basically enver heard of. When he gets this news he quits his job, and in a unique way at that!

He breaks the news to his wife (Nancy Olsen), daughter, son, and dog, who think he's lost his mind. So the family sets off for Silver Hills, Colorado to take over as managers of their new inheritance. When they arrive, the hotel is FAR from running. It's been run down for years, so with no job, it's up to the family to fix it up and get it running again as fast as they can. Dean then discovers that he has more land than he thought, and decides to change it into a ski lodge. This decision will forever change their lives!

Snowball Express is filled with fun and comedy as Dean continues to steal the show with Disney. If you like The Ugly Dachshund and Blackbeard's Ghost you will enjoy this!

I hope that when and if Snowball Express is released again and on DVD for the first time, Disney will give it some respect and make it worth OUR while!

Summary: Wonderful Winter Family Film
Review: This film holds a special place in my heart. As a little boy, my brothers and I loved it so much, we would rent it from the library every chance we got. In fact, growing up in Seattle, this film was the first memory we have of ever seeing snow! It is a great, happy Disney family film - filled with laughs and slapstick humor - Dean Jones is especially entertaining as he learns to ski. Luckily, I will be able to share this film with my children as Disney has decided to release it on DVD! Recommended for the whole family, especially the younger ones - curl up together with a cup of hot chocolate and put in this classic family film.
