03/07/2011 Not great...I guess I didn't know what to expect. See more 05/24/2010 Dreadful musicalized television made version of the classic story. Burl Ives isn?t too bad but the rest of the cast is dreadful. There aren?t even any good songs. Melodramatic mush that did not hold my interest. Some of the scenery is nice, but that hardly makes a movie work. See more 05/24/2010 38/100. Dreadful musicalized television made version of the classic story.
