The Absent-Minded Professor(1961)

This feature started out so slow for me. I think maybe because SCIENCE Is one of the poorest subjects for me. I don't know, I just don't find it very interesting in watching how things work and discoveries and such.

It did get quite interesting when the professor made his discovery and all the excitement that went along with his invention.  Glad things turned out well for him at the end of the film.  I give this 4 stars.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians(1961)

The first movie to watch from 1961 is such a great family disney film to watch.  Who does not enjoy a film about watching dogs, especially when they are cute dalmatians.

I would not want sell the cute little pups to evil crazy women either but the story was great when the pups are kidnapped and The Pongos go and search for their missing pups.  Talk about bravery, courage and determination. Great film over all and I give this 5 stars.

Swiss Family Robinson(1960)

First two words that comes to mind is GREAT CASTING!  What a great family movie that Disney made for us.  Just to shows you, when tragedy affects a whole family,  unity is the key to the solution.

Everything about this film is worth watching and I recommend those with young children to view this feature.  James McArthur is one of favorite actors and I have enjoyed watching him in at least 4 Disney Films now.  Watching how they defeated the Pirates, with slight help, is amazing.  Great action.  I give this 5 stars all the way.

Ten Who Dared(1960)

This is one of those movies that is more like learning about our past history. This is the story of an expedition, exploring a whole new territory of our world.

 This movie is based on a journey by Major John Wesley Powell. He took 9 other men with him on 4 boats to explore things. He was out to find fossils but his other men were out to look for gold.

 Struggles and lack of trust separated the 10 men as we find out that what they had been exploring was the FUTURE LANDMARK of our Nation, THE GRAND CANYON. I give this movie 4 stars.

Jungle Cat(1960)

The First Nature Film of the 1960s, this Disney Film is pretty interesting to watch. You feel kinda sad for some of those animals with the least advantage, but it is part of nature.

I never realized there was so many different types of Cats in the world.  It was interesting to watch how each one survives and how they go for the kill of their prey.

My favorite part of this film is the SLOTH that got away from the Jaguar Cat with the brain skills, not the physical skill.  I was chuckling at that moment.

If you don't like seeing animals killing, yet eating other animals, this is not your movie.  As the these movies say, NATURE MOVIES, it's how these animals survive.   I give this 4.5 stars.

The Sign Of Zorro(1960)

The First Black And White Disney Movie of the 1960s.  This film started out real slow for me.  I do like the action of the film very much.  Although the dialog of the film is to over-written.  To me they wanted to the speed the story and mostly do action, but in a way i didn't really care because the action part of the film is so much better than the dialog of the film.


The over-weight commander-in-chief made this film very funny and amusing. I indeed liked the fellow because of his clumsy-ness and kind-hearted attitude.  The villian is such an arrogant guy who always forces his way to get what he wants.  I give this movie 4 stars.

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.
