Bill Bixby plays a 19th-century gambler who inherits responsibility because three orphans, but the kids in turn have something of value: an huge gold nugget. This Disney movie enjoys 1975 is an amusing potboiler with its sentimentality under control and the accent on laughs, most of which are provided, not unexpectedly, by Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves who want to obtain their hands on the treasure. An simple, safe movie because kids. You can't depart wrong with this. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: outstanding option to Disney/Pixar formulaic releases of today

there isn't a star-studded soundtrack. there aren't guest appearances by every grown-up's preferred comedians. there is a obvious lack of sarcasm. there aren't any kids saying grown-up "quasi curse phrases" like "that blows!" "he sucks" or any of that stuff.



in other words, it's vintage disney -- enjoys that period when disney really created movies because CHILDREN, instead of trying to entertain "the complete relatives" by introducing borderline material that most kids under the period of 10 (like my 8- and 5-year-old) have no interest hearing.



the "villains" are silly, hapless caricatures of "bad guys," and while they do take and shoot guns, it's very stooges-y slapsticky types of "violence." somewhere along the line, "modern parents" and pop culture together made up our minds that silly armed villains are a bigger menace to society than kids who say mean, hurtful, sarcastic things to one another, their parents, teachers and all other adults/specialist information.



bluntly, movies like THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG are more than amusing and amusing; they possess a charm and innocence that kids aren't permitted to have anymore, as america wants their kids to get older when possible. unfortunately, on a social level, "evolving up" too often means being disrespectful, negative, sarcastic and sarcastic at distant too timely an period.



don't mean to be on the soapbox, don't mean to be too old-fashioned, but this wonderful movie is more than just a amusing two hours because the relatives...it's a reminder that maybe it's not such a bad idea to make youth last a bit longer than it seems to now.



worth every penny...just like the benji and original herbie movies. my kids love it!

Customer Review: Hilarious and kid really intimate

Don Knotts and Tim Conway are about the funniest pair still and this is a huge movie to watch with your kids. I take pleasure in watching comedies with my kids and there isn't a whole lot out nowadays that you can safely watch without awkward moments.
