    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    The film wasn't too young for you; you were at exactly the wrong age to best enjoy it. I liked it fine as a preteen, and so did my parents who were in their 40s. WWWotBG is charming, clever, and eye-popping. I have seen it many times since maturing, and I only appreciate it more. Yes, it is...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Secrets are nigh impossible to keep in the Internet age, especially when apparently so many individuals are making their own contributions to the project. I hope that Dave, while probably disappointed, still realizes that this little slip has brought some of us a ray of sunshine in a...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    I find most April Fool's Day jokes to be in poor taste.

    That is the one I have, and it's a gem.

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Possibly the OP was overly enthusiastic; Harline and Merrill didn't reach the heights of the scores you listed, but then the film isn't quite in the same league as those. Considering the subject matter I think both gentlemen matched the music to George Pal's film quite well. Leigh Harline also...

    Bob Merrill's song contributions are also very good. I play my FSM soundtrack CD pretty regularly.

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    No, it's not great. But it is quite charming, and much of that charm is washed away by an inferior presentation. While the play is usually the thing, an enveloping Cinerama image adds a lot to a less-than-classic tale. I suspect the film would have a better reputation if it had been better...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Ryan's Daughter might not belong on that list. There are reports of people having seen a digital version of the show that is close to perfection, and rumors persist that a Blu-ray could be forthcoming. I'm always skeptical of these forecasts, but I will say that what I streamed on Warner Archive...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Please understand that what you're suggesting (while admirable and certainly technically feasible) does not fit the model of how WHV handles their video properties. They have established a rule of "the best or nothing," and a little thought should probably explain why. In the past WAC has...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Never give up hoping. (I don't.) Just don't expect everybody else to share your optimism in the face of financial reality. If I had my way all of my childhood favorites (and TWWOTBG definitely is on that list) would be in my library, and I would contribute time and funds to their restoration...

    My 2 cents worth on “Brothers Grimm”

    Not in my opinion, especially considering Harvey's dual role.
