Customer Reviews of The Strongest Man in the World
Too cheesy? That's the point! My six year old loved this movie just as much as I did when I was a kid. Considerly the movie fare for kids today, the hokey Disney (under the Buena Vista banner) movies from the 60's and 70's are great family entertainment. I'd like to see Disney update a few more of these old classics.
Something happened to Dexter
This is an enjoyable Disney romp with stars like Phil Silvers Eve Arden along for the ride and the return of Joe Flynn as Dean Higgins Cesar Romero as A.J Arno and Kurt Russell as Dexter Riley. The only disappointment is Russell's appearance is really pretty short with about 15 minutes at the beginning and another 15 at the end. But if you enjoyed The Computer that wore Tennis Shoe's and Now you see Him now you Don't this DVD is a must.
Buyer beware
"The Strongest Man in the World" is far from the best movie Disney studios produced in its family-film heyday (late '50's to early '80's). However, I still find it to be quite enjoyable, especially the beginning and ending half-hours, which are quite funny. So why only one star? BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN WIDESCREEN, BUT IN A CUT-RATE 1:33:1 FULLSCREEN PRINT, with no special features whatsoever.
So what's up, Disney? Do you think we viewers are a bunch of lunkheads who can't handle widescreen? Then why not OFFER BOTH VERSIONS? After all, there's enough room on the disc for both, especially since you don't include special features at all on your second-tier titles.
I give Disney much credit for it's special editions and Vault Classics Collections for presenting beautifully restored, widescreen prints with wonderful special features like vintage newsreels and cartoons. And thanks to the recent special editions of "Apple Dumpling Gang" and "Escape to Witch Mountain," I now know how my favorite child stars of the '70's (Kim Richards, Clay O'Brien, Stacey Manning, Brad Savage, etc.) look and are doing nearly thirty-years later as adults.
But there is simply no excuse for throwing the rest of their titles into such thoughtless and cheesy packages. "Blackbeard's Ghost" simply looks terrible in fullscreen, as does "Follow Me Boys." I have no doubt "Stongest Man..." does too. So buyer beware, and join us widescreen lovers in holding out for product worth buying.
Incidentally, "Now You See Him Now You Don't," the previous title in this series is in widescreen, while the first film "Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" isn't. God only knows why.
