This is a great little film that I thought I'd recommend to the forum.
It's a Disney production and it takes place in the american depression era, but it's slightly more gritty than Disney films usually are. Someone said it was the forgotten Disney movie.
Anyway the current dvd is a chopped 4:3 version, but luckily someone has uploaded a better version on Youtube, probably from a TV screening I guess.
Check it out.
