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: 5 stars
Summary: Outstandin Family Fare
Review: Positively hilarious. Impossible to find in most video stores, this Disney film from the late 60s has Kurt Russell as a college boy transformed into a walking computer. Small children <5 won't get the humor, but for the 6-13 age group, it will be quite the entertainer. Extremely dated, but wonderfully reminiscent of days gone by. A personal favorite of my entire family.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Disney Cares Nothing For It's Audience
Review: This is a very fun, silly, wholesome movie, with a very likable cast, who seemed to be having a ball.
I have wonderful memories of watching this on TV with my parents back in the early 70's. We thought it was hilarious then, and it is still enjoyable almost 35 years later!
HOWEVER, I have not yet bought this or any other classic Disney movie on DVD, nor will I until the Disney studio gets it right and releases them in widescreen format, and with some good extras.
Unfortunately, Disney tends to ignore the true audience for these (pre-1980) classics, and treats us as if we were all the same age as the target audience for their current movies and shows; e.g; Deleting sequences deemed 'politically incorrect' or 'offensive', etc...
If there are any Disney execs reading this, trust me, there are plenty of older Disney fans, well over 18 years old, who simply want to enjoy the classic movies and TV shows we grew up with, unencumbered by censorship or ads for the latest kiddie show.
C'mon Disney, get with the program!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disney never disappoints me!
Review: What a fun movie this is. Kurt Russell made several Disney movies around this time making a smooth transition to adult roles. I give this movie 5 stars for the great family entertainment provided. - - - BUT - - - Sorry if I sound like a broken record; ZERO STARS to Disney for full screen format (as usual). (Eisner, do you ever read these reviews?)

Rating: 5 stars
