Reviews
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
JohnHowardReid Director: HUGH HARMAN. Music: Scott Bradley. Song, "Here We Go Gathering Nuts in May", traditional. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Fred Quimby.Copyright 13 July 1939 by Loew's, Inc. A Hugh Harman Production, presented by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 1 reel. 11 minutes. SYNOPSIS: Aimed at discriminating adults as well as children, this hilarious version follows the traditional outline of the story more or less faithfully, but with much additional characterization and highly amusing "business". COMMENT: Love these three bears! Bumbling, cowardly, slow-burning dad is an absolute riot. Mum and junior are not far behind in the laugh stakes and the avowedly satirical, delightfully arch, deliberately over-patronizing narration has to be heard to be believed. Beautifully photographed and most artistically conceived, the picture is further enhanced by Scott Bradley's delicious music score which never stops from opening credits to final delightful finis. In all, one of the funniest cartoons ever made!
kellyjkit I love this cartoon. Goldilocks looks like a mix between Shirley Temple and an adorable Kewpie Doll! She is very Disney-esque in her appearance and mannerisms. It sticks very closely to the actual fairy tale, but it definitely gives the bears very distinct and funny personalities. Luckily, Cartoon Network played it during their ACME HOUR.
