I'd like to think it was buried alongside the Baxter young'uns or maybe Fodderwing but that might be a bit too much.
For what it's worth, NBC News said they didn't do that because it might have caused a total collapse.
This is very cool to know. I thought something was both very familiar and a bit off about the voice. Martin Stephens being born in 1949 and Ronnie Raymond in 1946 makes a three-year age difference and naturally the voice would sound higher and somewhat unnatural even if Stephens tried lowering his voice a bit.
I must have missed that somehow.
Interesting.

This film is very life-affirming and glad to hear it had such an exceptionally positive influence.
For what it's worth, I just saw the movie on TV on Audience HD and the window scene cuts off as the two guys are looking at each other and maybe move a step closer together but that's as far as it went--no physical contact. Also at the funeral scene I saw Gaz and Dave saying they were holding hands but didn't see them actually holding hands, so there were cuts.
I can understand most of it with the sound way up, and all of it with the sound down (to the level I would for Americans) and very good subtitles. It is a little like translating from a foreign language as there is a slight delay between what you hear and what you realize has been said.

Benji fostered three blond kittens and one gray one. One of the blond ones was taken by the hawk. The mother cougar had one blond cub which was larger than Benji's cubs.
Benji was shown grieving the death of the cub by the dog's expression and the music. The other kittens didn't really grieve or at least didn't show it--typical of very young children.
As the wolf fell it was obviously a dummy, making it even more funny.
The kitten happened really quickly and was probably something made to look like a kitten which the hawk was trained to seize. Still very upsetting.

When Benji fought the cougar, the animals never came into contact but still filmed a great fight. When he fought the wolf, it looked like the wolf jumped onto or at least right over him. Incredible.
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, ah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
That part with Benji looking from the helicopter to the cubs to the helicopter and letting it fly off nearly got ME...and I don't cry at films!
His rescue was implied but the ending cut off too soon.
The first time I tried to watch this movie, I couldn't as it was too soon after reading the book and the movie pales in comparison. This time I did manage to sit through it. Unfortunately it didn't have any of the great elements from the book such as the cowboys teaching Ralph trick riding. As the author was still alive for about 12 years after this came out, it would be interesting to know what he thought of it, and that neither of the boys were named Ralph but most the critters were!
Agreed, the actual book on which this is based needs to be filmed, unlike this which barely resembles the book.
My thoughts exactly. They didn't want to pay royalties on the already-existing song (NOT a traditional song as the writer was credited) so made a cover story for where they heard the phrase...didn't cover their tracks any better than the dude with the tire shoes. For anyone who thinks they didn't watch this movie before making [i]The Lion King[/i], just watch the opening scenes of both.
More than a bit ominous that during a sermon entreating the congregation to accept motion pictures as an art form, the house burns!
Yeah, I was still laughing afterwards about that.
The booing and hissing at the villain was a carryover from vaudeville. In stage productions sometimes peanuts and worse forms of food were thrown, so mere booing and hissing was quite tame by comparison.
As for the title cards flashed on the screen before the movie--still a thing over 100 years later--only now it's not "remove your hats" but "silence your cell phones"!
Very briefly mostly about moving and job-shopping. (I am not a member of any church so if I make a mistake here no one can expel me, ha-ha.)
Some churches MANDATE that a pastor not stay longer than a certain time, while in others they can stay for life if they want. My family mainly attended the First Congregational, where as I understand there are no term limits. I have actually seen two pastors die in office who if they and the congregation had their way would have stayed for decades. As for vicious gossip, that, too. BOTH pastors passed away of cancer, the one safely in the 1970s when AIDS was not heard of, the other into the 2010s (just) and word went around that he passed of AIDS. (Not trying to insult people who actually do have AIDS, but he did not.)
The Methodist is one of those churches which are strict in DEMANDING a change of pastors after a certain time, for reasons such as too many loyalties develop, they want the congregation together and not split into camps, etc. For many years the Methodist parsonage was across the street from our house. It was very nice, didn't have loose steps or a leaky roof, and the men of the congregation went over to make repairs. They were progressive in having had two female pastors before any other church in our small town had any. I was at the farewell service for one of these pastors and it was very clear that she did not want to leave nor did the congregation want it. Several big strong men who are normally quite reserved went up to hug her and all were practically in tears.
As for job-shopping, a Methodist pastor is going to be made to move after a certain amount of time anyway. He just wanted to look around and make sure he was a good fit for the church, that it really needed him, and the church a good fit for him as well. Dr. Spence obviously sought challenges.
