Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus 1960, Walt Disney. This movie
takes me back to my youth. This is a classic that never grows old with
age. I find this movie fascinating from the boy
who finagles himself into a couple more peanuts, until he becomes the
circus performing star on the horses. Toby is portrayed by Kevin
Corcoran, who was a common Disney Movie actor. I like the girl,
Mademoiselle Jeanette, and had a crush on her as a child. She reminded me of my cousin. However I was
too young for her as I was only three when this movie was made. The
relationships Toby has with the other members of the circus is what
makes this movie work. His immediate boss tricks him out of money which
is rightfully his, and doesn't deliver his letter to him from his aunt
and uncle. Mr Stubbs, the monkey, throws his money away he has been
saving. The strong man befriends him and takes him under his wing, and
protects him from the abuse the concessionaire boss has used on other
boys. On of the clowns becomes a good friend, Ajax the horse performer
is jealous of him and treats him poorly, and the other horse performer
Jeanette is loveable as the trick horse rider. I recommend this movie.
It is a feel good show.
