If, like me, you’re a capital-D Disney fan, you’ve long bemoaned the dearth of classic Disney films on the company’s many cable outlets.
Thankfully, other channels like TCM have come to the rescue and give us an occasional taste of Walt’s films. This week, the Hallmark Movie Channel is stepping up with a crackerjack lineup of goodies:
Wednesday, November 10th
8am – The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin (1967)
10:30am – Summer Magic (1963)
1pm – Blackbeard’s Ghost (1968)
3:30pm – Return to Oz (1985)
Thursday, November 11th
8am – Big Red (1962)
Friday, November 12th
8am – The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964)
10am – The Cat From Outer Space (1978)
12pm – THE UGLY DACHSHUND (1966)
2pm – The Gnome-Mobile (1967)
4pm – Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959)
Be there, aloha!
Really more excited at the Friday lineup. Want to see Return to Oz, but since college interferes, I’ll have to rent it.
It is indeed a heck of a lineup. If people haven’t seen these films but enjoy the wacky family comedies of Walt’s era, I encourage you to check them out. Some of these were on constant rotation when we were kids.
