This should have a lower score.


It's about a duck that hatches golden eggs, so I see no reason for this not to be in the bottom 100.

Have you even seen this film? It's old Disney for crying out loud. I see no reason it SHOULD be in the bottom 100.

reply

I'd watch it if it were available for free on Youtube's film section or Hulu.

This was one of only three films that critic Gene Siskel walked out on.

I'd say this screams for the bottom 100.

He was wrong, this is a good, okay not great movie.

Anyone who walks out on this movie with all the garbage that has been put out, should be ashamed of themselves. Gene Siskel is out and out and idiot for doing so. This is a wonderful Disney family film. I sometimes wonder what in the world some people have in their minds to think a film like this is a bad film. It's not my favorite Disney film, but I bought the DVD.

w22 was correct. It's up to par with other Disney comedies of the era, such as the Flubber and Shaggy movies. They were all pretty formula, with a way out concept pushed as far as possible before discovery, the big chase scene, and finally the happy ending. :-)
