Bear Country (1953)
They started it all
Bear Country, together with Beaver Valley and Seal Island, started the True Life Adventures craze at cinemas all over the world. The Disney Company ought to put them out on DVD as a box set with all the nature movies put together.
These adventures started people's interest for nature, and set a standard for that category. All those pictures DESERVE TO BE PUBLIC AGAIN. In Norway, during the fifties and early sixties the True Life Adventures series topped the box office in Norway. And when Norway got a state run television i 1960, the Disneyland shows caught the most viewers. So, they really deserve to get place on DVD.
All fans and collectors. All The True Life Adventures will be released under the title, Walt Disney's Legacy Collection, in four dbl volumes on dec.5 2006. Jørn Back, Norway
Tonka (1958)
An excellent family movie, even today
It,s one of those Disney family movies from the fifties, that gives you a good feeling, like many others from the same cataloging. Disney was outstanding in those days. Nostalgia, of course, but they don't make them like this anymore. Tonka, was one of the frontier movies that went a bit deeper into the Indian nation, and also portrayed Custer as the mean man he was. One of the first times from Hollywood actually. At the same time told the story of the sole survivor from The Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. Excellent photography, and Sal Mineo's part as White Bull and his companionship with Tonka, was indeed heartwarming. Disney ought to put this out on DVD, with historical bonus etc. Jørn Back, Norway
