| User ReviewHildie FThis isn't the same old animated Tall Tales that I remember, they've redone the sound/music in a couple of them... still it's a good dvd to have. |
| User ReviewThérèse FSlightly different Disney anthology. Amusing all the same. |
| User ReviewKimberly AFlaw: sure to be boring after a second viewing. |
| User ReviewJohn R140810: Knew a little bit about these stories and now I can say I've heard this version. Short and very simple (basic) animated film. Not a movie. Will likely never revisit and will make no effort to show it to my son. He's not American and I imagine it helps to be when viewing. |
