STAR TREK: GENERATIONS, THE SWAN PRINCESS, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, THE PROFESSIONAL and TO LIVE are the five films that are discussed on this episode of Siskel and Ebert. It's always interesting watching these episodes decades after they originally aired and think about where these pictures are today. STAR TREK still has its cult following. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET pretty much stood the test of time and remains popular with people. THE SWAN PRINCESS has been forgotten. Then you've got THE PROFESSIONAL, which both Siskel and Ebert ripped here and yet it has a major following. In fact, their review here is pretty brutal towards the film yet neither mention that the version that was released in America was cut to pieces. All in all this was anotehr highly entertaining episode and remains fun to watch today.

Roger Ebert - Host: [reviewing "The Swan Princess"] This is good holiday entertainment...
Gene Siskel - Host: Wow.
Roger Ebert - Host: It does NOT measure up...
Gene Siskel - Host: In any way.
Roger Ebert - Host: ...to the Disney classics.
Gene Siskel - Host: In any way.
Roger Ebert - Host: Just, let me just kinda finish my thought. It does not measure up to the Disney classics, BUT, it comes as close as any of the animated wannabes of the last year. It's miles better than "Thumbelina", for example.
Gene Siskel - Host: Uh, Roger, so is a still shot of you taking a shower.
Roger Ebert - Host: Thank you very much. I'm sure you've had a lot of experience with studying such, uh...
Gene Siskel - Host: No I haven't. I'm just fantasizing.
Roger Ebert - Host: I'm sure you are.
