I was all of four when my dad took me to see it. Given the title, we both were expecting something along the lines of a Disney live-action comedy. It bored me then, but not enough to shell out $3.00 for a DVD copy over 50 years later.

Here are some of my favorite collections. I can listen to the MCA/Revue walk off jingle for hours, and now so will you!
