Customer Review: MY FAVORITE MOVIE AS A CHILD AND STILL AS AN ADULT!!
This movie is definitely a favorite of mine. The dancing, the singing, and the way that little girl brought people together. This movie came out when I was 13 years old. I cried during some parts of this movie when I was young, and I can admit it, I still cry now. I have always wondered why this movie was never put on tape or DVD. I am so glad that they finally have. I was only thinking about the movie, and a friend told me to check amazon. Well, I actually found video clips of it on YouTube first where I got to see my favorite scene. When Jimmie Bean and Polly were singing and dancing to Sweel Little Angel Eyes. I had memorized that song when i was young, and still know the words to it now. I used to repeat just that part of the movie. LOL. I don't mean to ramble on, I just really love this movie, and look forward to purchasing it, but not on Amazon. Thank you for all of your reviews, I will be going the Disney Movie club. As soon as I saw the price on Amazon, I thought you have got to be kidding me. I don't usually read reviews, but I am so glad I did today. Now, don't get me wrong, this movie is actually worth a lot more than that though. It is definitely a classic. I will be sharing this movie with my kids, and I hope everyone who knows about this movie does the same.
Customer Review: Polly
Polly is one of the best movies EVER made. I am 28, this came out in 1989, when I was 9 years old. I do have it on VHS, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Although I still watch it. I was considering buying it from Amazon, however $40 is a steep price to pay, and I have not seen it in stores as of yet. Thanks to a fellow member, I joined the Disney Movie Club tonight and also purchased it and Polly:Comin Home for $1.99 each. Thank Goodness. I can only remember fragments of Polly:Comin Home, but in no time I will know it by heart as well. I do know Polly from start to finish, word for word and every word of ALL the songs. Best movies Disney EVER put out.
