R T @crillovision Jun 30 Disappointing beyond belief. Almost none of the charm or humor of the Lofting books is retained and poor Harrison has never been more hamstrung. Far far too much Anthony Newley who grinds it all to a halt more than a few times and songs nobody will ever even dream of singing again. The special effects are the only positive throughout and the giant snail is a beaut. See more alan G @agenser Jun 11 How does the two headed llama poop? See more Eli H @EliHendricks Oct 29 This is a film where Rex Harrison acts as the agent for a two-headed llama that he gets to perform at Richard Attenborough's traveling circus, and then Oscar winner Rex Harrison helps a seal that misses her husband in the North Pole said escape said circus by throwing her into the channel, but not before he sings a ballad about looking into her eyes and seeing that he loves her and kisses her. All of that was true. What I'm saying is this movie is terrible and I think I might love it. See more Stephen C @bob25009 06/05/2025 Success in 2 hours and 32 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more David W @Sternhammer 12/13/2024 Largely but not entirely saved by the performance of the excellent Rex Harrison. It's whimsical and light despite there being some questionable use of the animals but this was the norm for the time (very much circus fare) and not then considered to be at all inappropriate. It's biggest sin cinematically though is that for a musical there's not really any great or even particularly memorable songs. It all passes the time well enough in a very retro way but it's not a classic in my book. See more 11/27/2021 Awful. The treatment of the animals used is abysmal - bears being forced to walk on their hind legs, seals having balls thrown at their faces. Horrid See more Read all reviews
