Featured review
The tall tale of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe
"Paul Bunyan" is one of a string of animated shorts that Walt Disney made in the 1950s. These comic book style films were about legendary characters in America's past. This is a good rendition of the tale of a man who cleared the forests of a growing continent in its early years. Paul and his Canadian blue ox, Babe, were the logging champions of all time.
Kids young and old should enjoy this fairy tale, in Disney style, even in the 21st century. Of course, today the public concern has changed from one of taming the land to one of preserving and conserving the world's forests.
