follow me boys | Year: 1966 Classification: Feature Film Family Directed: - Norman Tokar Actors/Actresses: - Fred MacMurray - Vera Miles WIDESCREEN vs. FULL SCREEN Like most viewers, WIDESCREEN is my preferred format. However, I realize not all movies were filmed that way, especially decades-old ones. The "Follow Me, Boys" DVD is presented in the FULLSCREEN aspect ratio of 1.33:1 because that is its original format. It really is a non-issue here. In the meantime, what a true joy it is to see this film again! Let us all join together to implore DISNEY to clear its vaults and re-release all of the older, classic films. They confirm the genius of DISNEY under Walt's guidance, and make one realize how truly GOOD films could be compared with what's available today. Walt knew that an audience would appreciate good values as long as they were served up with some laughter and tears. A wonderful movie! I'll Follow Lem Anywhere This is a classic all-American Disney feel good movie. If that's your thing you will love this film. I found it highly entertaining and a great look back to an idealized simpler time. My only complaint with the film would be that the last quarter seems to drag on a bit because of several drastic plot twists that come completely out of left field. But this is a minor flaw to a great film that is suited for the entire family. The DVD itself needs some help. For reasons unknown the film is not presented in it's original aspect ratio and worse, there is a yellow border around the picture while the opening credits are playing. On the plus side, there is a great 11 minute bonus documentary, "Looking back With Lem's boys" which features interviews with the grown up kids who appeared in the film. Kurt Russell does not appear in it but it's still a great feature Hey, Disney! This is the kind of film you should be making! I remember the tune from when I saw it as a kid in the late 60s, and have hoped to see it again ever since. What a breath of fresh air compared to the tripe that Disney puts out today. Films like these remind us of America's Golden Age. Wonderful performances by all, uplifting singing on the trail, and a heart-rending, happy ending make this film a MUST HAVE in the libraries of parents who want wholesome entertainment for their kids. I wonder why more of the 1960's Disney movies have not come out on DVD. As a parent, I dont have to be woried about foul language ,sexual inuendos, or even "attitudes" that my kids will see glorified when we watch films like these. I gave my copy to a newly-minted Eagle Scout, and will order another for my family... Buy Follow Me Boys at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
