Do your homework!

I am still watching the laserdisc version of this film, so I cannot comment on the quality of the "restored" DVD. I intend to up-date to DVD shortly, if the DVD includes the short, historical "making of" that is on the laserdisc. It is a short, but fascinating look at the Disney Studios in 1947 and contains some brief, but previously unseen footage of Walt, himself, from that time. I would agree with the reviewers who say that the weakest part of the film is the Bongo segment. However, some of your writers need to do their homework before making the statement that the version of Mickey and the Beanstalk presented is an edited version with Edgar Bergen added as narrators. Indeed, this is the original version! It was the various incarnations on Disney's Wonderful World of Color that were re-edited, some with Professor Ludwick von Drake replacing the original Bergen/McCarthy narration. How horrible was that??

disney- fun and fancy free

i bought this for the grandkids but loved it myself. it's really a great dvd and the kid's watch it over and over. i would recommend this if you like disney.

Nice Little Gem

I would give this a higher rating if the first segment ("Bongo") were better. I found it interminably boring and not at all imaginative. I bought the DVD for the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" segment, which I had on VHS. Even that featurette could have been improved, however. I found the intrusions in the narrative by Edgar Bergen and the children to be annoying. If they had only been seen at the beginning and end, that would have been alright. Still, for fans of classic Disney animation, I would recommend this title.

Fun is probably worth the purchase for "Mickey and the Beanstalk," the second half of this combo-film. "Beanstalk" includes the last performance by Walt Disney of Mickey Mouse. It also has Donald Duck and Goofy as comrades who climb the beanstalk in their back yard to face Willy the Giant. This segment actually achieves the goals of the film's title. The first half, however, is "Bongo," the story of a addlepated circus bear. "Bongo" is more poky and interest-free. Dinah Shore warbles and narrates the segment, and it goes on much too long for its purpose. Don't trade your cow in for it. --Keith Simanton
