I Love Disney Musicals!!

Warning: Spoilers
it was nice to see that all the reviews of this film were good, positive, reviews. glad because that means i don't have to heatedly defend it online from a bunch of cynical, sour-puss, stick-in-the-mud, types.

you know the way that some people get all worked up and excited over rock stars? or the way recent Disney fans get into 'High School Musical'? that's how i feel about this movie. the very mention of it's title gets me all worked up and jumping. for me this movie is so awesome it's hard to describe the jubilation and excitement it gives me on the inside. when i was a little kid of only 7 yrs, i had the Disney song record to this and every time i would think about it i would go nuts with excitement.

i love everything about this film. the charming acting ( i love Walter Brennan), the sense of history, the tuneful and often very funny music, and above all it's sense of romance and dedication to family principles and values.

it also seems to mean if you have a true love of America and what it stands for you will see this film and not hesitate. old fashioned Republicans or stubborn Democrats alike will find something to relate or laugh about. Buddy Ebsen has one of the funniest lines when he says the Grover Cleveland song "wouldn't be appreciated at a republican convention" hilarious.

everyone visiting IMDb 'Family Band' site should read the review by AllenBlank (his review was sooo intelligent and said it all) and the review of the sweet lady who knew one of the children from the cast.

it doesn't matter that Walt Disney himself could be a hard-nosed Republican. this film is for everyone. it certainly doesn't spout the reactionary Republican sentiments of 'Happiest Millionaire' (which i also really like), but a fair consideration of both parties. it also has a deep message of how politics can destroy a family unit and tear it apart.

Repub or donkey it doesn't matter with this film. it's all good. i mean i totally HATE politics and don't like political solutions to anything. I am also not nationalistic, which this film is. but i can enjoy the rich history and values this country was founded on. God Bless this little joyful film. it has given me so much happiness.
