| User ReviewPrivate UAll the goodies in this movie. Dean Jones, Suzanne Pleshette (during her days on The Bob Newhart Show), Also Tim Conway & Jo Anne Worley. & yes even Dick Van Patten. Also Vic Tayback (as he became Mel Sharples on Alice/Mel's Diner) |
| User ReviewTim MLiterally, the best movie of the last thousand years. Doug Danger agrees. |
| User ReviewClaudette AMy favourite Disney movie, the year my sister was born (yet again I love any movies with animals in it). I won a colouring competition as a kid and my prize was winning a ticket to see this movie. |
| User ReviewHannah Mthis... made me laugh. Tim Conway rocks house. x) |
| User ReviewDebbi FNot a bad movie, Gotta Love those Walt Disney Classics!! |
| User ReviewNick DDean Jones is perfect for his role of the Shaggy D.A. Possibly one of my favorite Disney movies, but, it now shows its age. |
