I understand that Tim Allen has “reimagined” this film, but I don’t know how it can compare to the fresh. Fred MacMurray, always expedient and loads of fun, is not the central character. The Mickey Mouse Club supplied the main characters. Indeed, Tommy Kirk & Kevin Corcoran carry this film, with able benefit from Tim Considine, Annette Funicello & Roberta Sherwood. There’s also delicious befriend from Jean Hagen & Cecil Kellaway. I have no extinguish of admiration for this fresh. Certainly, there are region holes, but who really cares? I have the VHS, and then I saw the DVD and snatched it up. The DVD has 2 versions: a colorized version, but I have no exhaust for that; the B&W is in a limited Widescreen. This is one of Disney’s first live action comedies; Tommy Kirk is especially pleasurable, and had impartial completed “Broken-down Yeller”; Kevin Corcoran was later ample as “Toby Tyler”. Disney studio were noted for their keen features, and astonishing documentaries (”White Wilderness”, etc.) . Mr. MacMurray later proved a hit in “The Absent-Minded Professor” and it’s sequel, “Son of Flubber”. My spacious distress is WHY anyone thinks they have to remake these fantastic capsules of Hollywood treasures. Robin Williams in “Flubber”, and now Tim Allen in a remake? The originals are GREAT; the indolent studio heads should initiate looking for improbable modern material. We all know there’s plenty of it out there. Those Sundance darlings, if promoted correctly, could kick some serious butt. Detached, I abet anyone with kids to check this out. It’s Diagram too remarkable fun to be ignored. BTW: Remember the Mickey Mouse Club…the Hardy Boys…Go & Marty? I do. I was especially intrigued with the Hardy Boys’ “Mystery of the Applegate Admire”. Wouldn’t that be fun on DVD? Anyone agree? PS~The DVD has a fond, loving tribute to Fred MacMurray. Worth seeing; as well as remaining cast interviews, commentaries, etc. UPDATE: Disney finally released the Hardy Boys (Applegate) and Scuttle & Marty. How intellectual of them! Now, we honest lovers unbiased have to wait for “Song of the South”. Hey…it could happen…(? )
In the hit and miss world of Disney Home Video DVD releases we are treated to a rather suprising go by Disney. “The Shaggy Dog”, a genuinely delectable fare, will be released in its novel ravishing B&W, widescreen format, as only Walt would have it. Also included is a colorized, pan & scan version for those who folks who unprejudiced can’t seem to tolerate those “unlit bars”. This combined format should have been done with “The Absent Minded Professor”. This seems like a no-brainer as this production should satisfy everyone. So why the hack job on the more current “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken”? (which BTW is in its OAR in Place 2) You have a better chance of winning “Mega Millions” than guessing which Disney film will catch fine treatment.

The B&W widescreen version is wonderful with absorbing inequity and beneficial lighting. Included with the B&W OAR version is commentary from the Shaggy Dog “Kids”. Their remarks are appetizing and clue us in on where many pieces of apparel in the colorized version don’t match the unique colors; i.e. one of Francesca’s gowns was originally gold but colorized to a sickly blue in one scene changing to an equally pallor green in the scene to follow. So noteworthy for the dreaded colorization process.

It’s an apples and oranges comparison between the Colorized, Pan & Scan and the B&W OAR editions. I’m unbiased ever grateful that Disney (hopefully) finally has heard the pleas of the Space 1 consumer; at least for this classic. We can live in hope that they continue in this reponsible manner. Robert Iger, I hope comments like these approach your desk because writing Disney directly gets nowhere.
