This is a lovable, but overlooked movie. It’s based on a true story. I’ve seen it several times, which is more than I can say for others.

It's hard not to like this feel-good dramatization of this story, which is also well-made, considering the two very different settings.

Don't even talk to me if you don't think this is the only good live action movie by Disney except Fantasia.
