A Brilliant Conflict
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Saw this when I was a kid, scared me (I'm 44 now) have spent years trying to find it but was too expensive on video tape and never released here in New Zealand. Finally have it on DVD. They don't make movies like this anymore sadly. Definitely worth watching regardless of your age. New Zealand doesn't get all the movies the USA have so to find this movie after years of searching is awesome. I'll admit I had a crush on blossom when I was a kid, she was cool. So for a classic ghost story this one is great. Thanks Amazon again you deliver. Hopefully more of these Disney classics get released because there definitely is a market for good wholesome movies
This is was the scariest movie I ever saw as a child and it's memory has haunted me for years. I would not recommend letting young children watch this film as I watched it when I was nine when I watched it and I could not look in the corner of my bedroom for about three years. I have always wondered what the movie was called and when finding it it still raised the hairs on the back of my neck and I am in my thirties . I must say I was surprised it was a Walt Disney film....... I don't know if I could watch it again even now. For it's time it was made it the special effects were obviously very effective as I have never forgotten it. I am not saying the movie is bad just that it is frightening.
As a child I loved watching this movie. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. Will definitely buy this one when and if they ever get around to making it available on DVD. A touching family film with a sweet ending. No fancy special effects but the story line and interaction of the characters make it a favorite of mine. Not scary and appropriate for children of all ages. Have watched this movie at least 12 times. Would not mind seeing this one re-made and updated or digitally remastered. If you like this one I also recommend... Blackbeards Ghost (Disney), The Computer Wore Tenni-Shoes (Disney), The Shaggy Dog (Disney), and The Shaggy D.A. (Disney). Also of the newer Disney films I recommend Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap, and The Incredibles.
I finally found this movie after a long search, and it was worth the wait. I was about 7 when it appeared on television in the late '70s, and I have never forgotten it. I have a six year old girl now who was absolutely riveted by it. If you ever have a chance to rent or buy this (hard to do, its been OOP for a while), please do so. The scene where the little ghost girl Inez becomes real for a moment to dance a waltz with the little boy in the story still gets me. What a great movie!
