It was really disappointing to see The Black Cauldron as a kid- I was (and am) a huge fan of the books by Lloyd Alexander. Read the books, forget the cartoon.

And for the best Treasure Island around, see if you can find this made-for-cable version starring Charlton Heston as Long John Silver! I kid you not, one of my favorite movies. Best pirate movie ever, sadly not on DVD…

Pelham is a classic that too few people acknowledge – a bonus is that Jerry Stiller (Frank Costanza) and George Costanza’s Mom are BOTH in it!

Ivan and Vince, I knew I could count on you two for the TCM live action Disney props! I have that documentary waiting to be watched on the DVR.

Welcome to the Pelham fan club, Matt. I love this movie. Way more than I should.

Have you seen the TCM doc on Disney’s live-action films airing this month? It’s worth a look. Bonus: Kevin Corcoran is in it!

First, thanks for confirming that I’m not the only one repulsed by the antics of Kevin “Moochie” Corcoran in all those Disney flicks. That little snot-nose contaminates any film he’s in, and makes me want to puke.

Second–you’re not the only one enjoying the Disney fest. I watched eight hours worth of movies today for no other reason than I could.
