DVD The Apple Dumpling Gang (Special Edition)
Bill Bixby plays a 19th-century gambler who inherits responsibility for three orphans, but the kids in turn have something of value: a huge gold nugget. This Disney film from 1975 is an enjoyable potboiler with its sentimentality under control and the accent on laughs, most of which are provided, not unexpectedly, by Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves who want to get their hands on the treasure. An easy, safe film for children. You can't go wrong with this. --Tom Keogh
Review(s): DVD The Apple Dumpling Gang (Special Edition)
Very entertaining
I'm a huge Disney fan and this was one that I hadn't seen before so I rented it. I fell in love with it. Tim Conway and Don Knotts make this movie great. I also really liked the little girl. She was cute and adorable and funny. After watching it I decided it was a must have.
One of the best scenes in the whole movie is Knotts and Conway trying to steel a ladder out of the fire house. In the special features it is confessed that they were supposed to figure out the scene and reherse it, but didn't. The whole scene was improvised and turned out brilliantly.
some good family values
My kids and I laughed really hard. The movie also reinforced the value of a family unit. It showed a bachelor sacrificing his freedom and money for kids he didn't know.
There was 1 character who was intended to be funny who was apparently an alcoholic and stole liquor, but overall a good, clean movie.
A great show for the family...
I purchased this because I loved it as a kid. Don Knotts and Tim Conway were some of the funniest guys and they do a great job in this flick. Recommended for Family viewing and it's appropriate for all ages.

The 1979 sequel to The Apple Dumpling Gang reunites Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves with hearts of gold, this time helping out a soldier (Tim Matheson) whose commander (Harry Morgan) is being undermined by a villainous lieutenant. The film is for kids, but the adult-heavy plot takes this movie in a different direction than its predecessor, which focused on three adorable orphans. The slapstick comedy is good, and supporting cast, Morgan, Matheson, Ruth Buzzi and Jack Elam, are enjoyable, but the freshness of the first film is missing. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Tim Conway - Don Knotts Director(s): Vincent McEveety DVD Release Date: Released the 14 January 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

Ever wonder what would happen if the imaginary worlds of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and SpongeBob SquarePants were to collide? If so, chances are good you've yet to discover The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Starring the irrepressible Don Knotts, this 1964 family feature combines live (land) action and animated (undersea) sequences with delightful results. During World War II, Knotts is mild-mannered, spectacle-sporting bookkeeper Henry Limpet. More than anything--he's a fish fan and a patriot. When the navy rejects him due to poor eyesight, he falls into a funk from which not even his beloved aquarium or loving--if bossy--wife can rescue him. So he makes a wish... to become a fish. Next thing he knows--he is! With a little help from a hermit crab named Crusty and the lovely...

Enjoyed the Reluctant Hero pack very much, despite DVD region problems. These movies have good American humour - and I also enjoyed watching the simple, wholesome culture of life back then. I also think Don Knotts displays a sad side to his characters sometimes which is quite moving.

When I was growing up, this was one of the many classic Disney movies we had taped from the tv, among others, like Snowball Express and Follw Me, Boys. But this is definitely my favorite. After all these years, I still memorize the song in the opening credits, and I can probably recite half the movie.
I have been waiting for this to come out on DVD for about 6 years, and I'm so glad I'll finally have the chance to own it! More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Jim Dale - Darren McGavin Director(s): Robert Butler DVD Release Date: Released the 06 July 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Don Knotts and Tim Conway star in The Private Eyes, a 1980 comedy about two bumbling detectives solving a murder. It's an impressively incompetent affair. Every ancient joke falls with a muffled thud as Knotts and Conway ham their way through the pointless story: The lord and lady of a capacious manor are killed, and the lord's ghost seems to have returned to knock off the staff one by one. There's an austere housekeeper, a snooty butler with compulsive twitches, a sexy upstairs maid, a deformed groomsman, and a buxom young heir to the estate, who of course is going to be in some state of undress before the movie is over. People get killed, their bodies disappear, Knotts and Conway wander aimlessly through secret passageways, dimly seeking some way out of this movie. Conway cowrote...
