Disney's American Legends

This is another set of short stories from Disney about a few of America's heroes. It is educational and short and easy to follow. 

I'm just not the biggest fan of the short stories I have been watching. 

Dinosaur

When I see a kids dinosaur movie, I'm always comparing it to the first couple of Land Before Times. Don't lie - you are, too. This one just didn't compare well. In Disney's defense, I think it was their first try at computer animations mixed with real landscapes (without Pixar being involved). 

The kid didn't seem too impressed either... In fact, I bet if I went and asked him now if he even remembers it he won't. 

Diamonds on Wheels

This movie was pretty suspenseful and funny! Get ready for a big heist in this Disney movie from the 70's. 

This movie is good if you are in the mood for a bit of 70's comedy. 

Desperately Seeking Santa

This is another ABC Family movie about Christmas. In this one, the main character is a PR manager for a mall and she hosts a contest for a new hunky Santa that she ends up falling for. 

It certainly isn't the best Christmas movie ABC Family has had to offer, but if you are one of those people who just love watching random Christmas movie after random Christmas movie, then here you go. (and you are in good company) 

Descendants

Next up is another DCOM - Descendants! I liked the movie. I'm a fan of continuing on classics or re-telling them. I thought this was a clever spin. 

If you are looking for a DCOM with music that isn't your typical teens in a high school or camp or beach setting and has some familiar characters, then this is the movie for you. 

Den Brother

Next up on the list is a Disney Channel Original Movie about a kid who pretends to be a Den Mother to help out his little sister's troop while he is suspended from his hockey team. 

It was an OK movie. I wasn't too impressed. I don't mind the little girl, though. She is in one of the current TV shows. 

Davy Crockett and the River Pirates

Another Davy Crockett adventure! Well, there are a couple of adventures. I think I liked this one better than the other. Davy and his friend get into all sorts of trouble again and show off how brave and talented they are. 

Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier

Next up, Davy Crockett! I'm not going to lie, I thought he was pretty dreamy. Ending was obviously sad. I didn't like all the violence but I suppose it is pretty true to our nation's history so of course it is in there. The relationship he had with his friend was pretty funny. 

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Next up is a Disney movie called Darby O'Gill and the Little People. The movie is set in Ireland and I'm Irish so this was fun to watch.
