Own: 0

I've seen the Herbies, Bedknobs, and the Shaggy DA and may have seen a few of the other Disneys but not since I was a kid.

I must have seen more of Stevenson's Disney output when I was a child I just can't remember them.

One thing I enjoy looking at in many of the old Disney films is the fantastic matte paintings by Peter Ellenshaw, Castaways in particular is jam-packed with them.

Average Rating 2.7 out of 5
