Now it's my favorite part!<br /><br />I love Danny Kaye in White Christmas. And Hans Christian Andersen. <br /><br />He was a good dramatic actor too, in The Five Pennies. He's a trumpet player whose daughter becomes ill (with polio I think) and he quits playing to get a real job so he can keep her and pay the Rachel Leigh Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004728242824462126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-74910350871874374922010-07-14T03:12:56.152-04:002010-07-14T03:12:56.152-04:00I love old movies.

I love the fantasy element of slipping away magically and being able to change everything with love. Oh sigh :-) But The Incredible Mr. Limpet? Oh YES! That one and the Ghost and Mr. Chicken and the whole series that Don Knotts did I'd watch over and over still.<br /><br />Classic Disney, my whole family loves it.<br /><AngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-66242988955300545742010-07-13T23:53:21.814-04:002010-07-13T23:53:21.814-04:00Awesome!

In fact, you can buy a whole DVD that's nothing but the shorts, which are awesome!<br /><br />D'Ann, I vaguely remember Candleshoe. Wasn't Angela Landsbury in it, too?

And he becomes one (which is the animated part of the movie). <br /><br />Deb, living in the heart of Hollywood, you'd think I'd have run into all kinds of celebrities.

Seems like I've caught it a couple times when it was already in progress on TV. <br /><br />But now I want to see it. Hmm. Maybe I'll put on my Nancy Drew hat and go sleuthing. <br /><br />I will just point out that Danny Kaye is also in White Christmas.
