Pollyanna(1960)

It's amazing how one little person can change a whole town by just being as what FRED ROGERS would say, "BY Just Being YOU". A little girl being brought to her aunt's home after the passing of her parents, gives a gift to a community with Love, Kindness and Gladness.

Haley Mills is such a perfect actress for this role and I am so glad she fulled this part of Pollyanna.  I can not picture anyone but her to be her.  The Glad Game is such a very important part of this movie, which is truly a great way to teach kids to stop looking at the negative part of the world but look for the GLADNESS of this world.

My heart truly loves this movie and teaches us that doing Charity work is not to brag about, but it's the heart that counts, and teaching us just because we could be miserable and unhappy, be glad for what you have.   I SO LOVE THIS MOVIE. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY.

KIdnapped(1960)

A film made in Scotland and London Disney Studios, it started out really slow.  A lad, during the Red-Coat years,  father has just passed and was sent to live with his uncle.  He finds out that his Uncle despises him and has him get kidnapped.  He fights his way to get himself back to his uncle.   On his fight back, he becomes friends with a Red-Coat traitor. I give this movie 3.5 stars.  Not one of my favorite disney movie but loved the leading actor.

Toby Tyler (1960)

My First Film to watch of the 1960's Disney era. This is such a very friendly family movie film. It started out real slow but you will get a  chuckle and a smile.  That's  how can you not love watching this film. For those who LOVE BONANZA HOSS, well this Ben character reminded of me him and I  grew to LOVE Ben very much.   A very important lesson, always be on your guard about who you work for and always check about your wages. The most important lesson, learn about LOVE. That Toby boy did he ever have that. I give this movie 4.5 stars out 5. \ Here Is The Movie Trailer

Third Man on The Mountain (1959)

Second to last of the 1950s Disney Films and man what a blockbuster hit this was. James McArthur sure makes my heart proud in this heart-warmth story. I believe everyone is here on earth for a reason and his was to be exactly like his brave hero of a dad. Oh I laugh, i cried and was even terrified in the last 9 minutes of the film but was a thrill to have all those feelings in one film such as this. I give this 5 out 5 stars and not only that as of this day from the first 44 Disney films this ranks as my #2 favorite next to OLD YELLER. Simply a Fantastic story and film. My Hat is Off...

One of my favorite Disney Couples. They looked so beautiful together. I may have to make a list one day of my Top 10 Favorite Disney Couples and this sure ranks in there as one of them.

Darby O'Gill and The Little People (1959)

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Just watched this movie. Not one of my favorite disney movies but it is very likable that I give Disney Credit for that. A very touching and satisfying ending for sure. Love the little leperachans. It was just a little slow for me and didn't expect to hear and young Sean Connery to sing irish music. Well done Lad. Gave it 4 out 5 stars.

 

Shaggy Dog (1959)

I loved this movie very much and the chemisry betwween Fred MacMurray, Tommy Kirk and Kevin Cororan is really awsome. I loved the fact that Annette Funicello (One of my Earliest Disney Crush) was in the movie. Very likeable movie and first disney movie to be a comedy movie. Anyone who loves Dogs will LOVE this movie for sure. I give this 4.5 out 5 stars.
