Customer Reviews of Daydreamer (1966)
Great! I used to watch this on T.V. when I was a kid every year at Thanksgiving. Now I can let my daughter watch it and get to know all the songs like I did, only now, more often!
Still entertaining me many years later!
I loved this movie as a child and still sing "Isn't it cozy here...". I bought this for my children ages 3 & 6. They loved it. The acting and story are goofy, but this is a kids movie. They loved the familiarity of the fairy tales and the animation of these stories. We had quite a discussion about the original "Little Mermaid" and how the story ends. As well as the Emperor's New Clothes & Thumbelina which they weren't as familiar with. As an adult, I get a kick out of the movie stars and my kids recognized the "Wicked Witch" right away. Although they didn't quite understand that Ray Bolger was the Scarecrow. I loved this movie and found it more entertaining than Mad Monster Party which I also enjoyed as a child. The best part of the whole thing is sharing the classics of my childhood with my children.
Animagic Tour de Force
I had fond memories of The Daydreamer, having seen it on TV in the early 1970s, so I was delighted to see the DVD version. The highlight, to my mind, was the bats' song and dance number in the mole's den ("Isn't it Cosy?"). A friend of mine used to amuse us in elementary school days by singing that song in class whenever the teacher left the room! It was also a treat to see Boris Karloff as a rat with a bad case of lumbago! Another memorable sequence was the destruction of the Garden of Paradise. Even young children today might find it a little frightening.

>While not up to the standards of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or "Mad Monster Party," the film is well worth seeing nevertheless. It has a marvellous cast--most of the cast members being seen only as puppets--from Burl Ives to Margaret Hamilton to Terry-Thomas, and a lovely soundtrack. Ideal family viewing--for kids and grown-ups alike.
