I was so thrilled to be able to see this film at at preview press screening. And knowing how much I absolutely adored the Benji films growing up, I know I went in with what would probably be called unfairly ultra-high expectations. This film lived up to my expectations beyond my wildest dreams. Now, I don't think I have actually seen the other Benji films since they came out (the first in 1974 when I was 6). But the loving Benji dog in this one won my heart over from the first instant; so much so the animals outshine the humans (though I LOVE the dogcatchers!)! Try not to be late because you will miss some key things during the opening credits. And definitely sit through the closing credits for adorable behind-the-scenes footage with the dogs. Don't think you have to be a parent with kids to see and love this film. If you have any memory of the other Benji movies, run to see this film opening weekend!

I love this cartoon. Goldilocks looks like a mix between Shirley Temple and an adorable Kewpie Doll! She is very Disney-esque in her appearance and mannerisms. It sticks very closely to the actual fairy tale, but it definitely gives the bears very distinct and funny personalities. Luckily, Cartoon Network played it during their ACME HOUR.

...told as only Tex Avery could! One funny thing is that if you would have seen this in 1955, you would have assumed that Dallas had a subway system. Well, we finally got one (actually a light-rail system) in the 1990s. (Dallas did have a trolley system back then that has fortunately been revived recently!) Whether you are a Texan or not (but ESPECIALLY if you are!), search this cartoon out. You will be a big kick out of it! Just don't come to Dallas searching for those huge cliffs, desert landscapes, or that jail -- but luckily, Dallas has learned to take itself a little less seriously in the past couple of decades, and you will see other fun things!
