          A great movie for all the family, not just the kids.

          This is one of the best animated stories I've seen, since the early eighties, when I first watched it. Every time we went to the video rental store, my three young boys would always pick "Stanley, the Ugly Duckling". They would be entertained by this movie for hours, rewinding the tape to play their favorite parts and songs over and over again. We must have watched Stanley a dozen times, and that was just us adults. Anyway, many years have passed and Stanley, the Ugly Duckling, has not been forgotten. A new generation is on the way and I would love to buy this movie for the grandchild (and the adults). Does anyone know where I can get it from?

          I can't believe it!!!!

          This movie just popped into my head for no reason today and I looked it up. I was shocked to see that it doesn't even have five votes yet. I was lucky enough to catch this on TV one day. I was in Haiti visiting family who ironically enough had cable (Disney channel to be exact), which I did not. I spent most of that summer watching TV :)But I digress. This was such the awesome movie! It's about a Duckling who gets mocked for being very effeminate. They like to call him special and he likes to remind them that he's "UNIQUE!" Some how, through a strange twist of winter events, he ends up saving the day. Yay! It's a cute story but what's more important is that it sends a message of tolerance and promotes self-esteem for kids growing up who may not fit in.

          I think Disney should air this film again. I wonder where I could find it.

          Oh well, if anybody reads this who hasn't seen it yet see it!!! (if you can. I'm going to try to find it and post it. You guys do the same).

          Happy Tuesday!!!

          • Goofs
            When the eagles are being chased off by the pelicans, Stanley goes to untie Nathan, who says to him "I thought I would never say this: Stanley, am I glad to see you!". His mouth doesn't move when he says the very first few words, but when it cuts to him talking as he says the rest of the line, his mouth moves.
