Summary: Baxter, you're skiing backwards!
Review: While "Snowball Express" is no classic, I have really fond memories of this film. It falls into that category of mid-budget live action Disney films from the early 1970's. Most of them are forgettable although they were fun at the time. I like to think that "Snowball Express" is a little big funnier than the standard fare. There are some clever jokes, and some truly funny slapstick here, all with a nice Winter theme.Disney stand-by Dean Jones does his usual work here, as a city man who inherits a big bunch of mountain, and decides to move his family and open a ski lodge. Harry Morgan (Col. Potter from M.A.S.H.) adds a bit more fun as Jesse McCord the two-bit mountain man leading him a hand. There are the usual hijinks; someone wants to buy the property, there is a snowmobile race, some backwards skiing. All in all this is an easy, fun movie to watch around Christmas time.

Summary: He's Related to Crazy Jake
Review: With Dean, Jones, Keenan Wynn, Michael McGreevey,Harry Morgan, Nancy Olsen and Johnny Whittaker you can't go wrong with these incredible character actors. This is when Disney was great! As far as i'm concerned Disney died after The Rescuers (1978,1979). John Sylvester Baxter inherits The Grand Imperial Hotel in Silver Hill, Colorado (not in Wyoming) from his crazy Uncle and tries to stop the foreclosure by Martin Ridgeway (Wynn)the town Scrooge. Ties with The Shaggy D.A. in my top four Disney favorites
