Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

FOLLOW ME, BOYS! (1966)Producer: Walt Disney.Director: Norman Tokar.Cast: Fred MacMurray, Vera Miles, Kurt Russell, Lillian Gish, Sean McClory, Charles Ruggles.I initially watched FOLLOW ME, BOYS! out of a sense of duty, as an adult admirer of the art of Walt Disney. I had been anything but a Boy Scout and expected the film to be syrupy and nauseating, but was surprised to find it to be a solid drama as well as one of Uncle Walt's warmest and most genuinely sentimental works. It is now among my personal favorite "live-action" Disney films.The story is engrossing, the characters rich, and the whole is beautifully acted, written and directed. Fred MacMurray is in his element here, giving one of his best and most moving performances, with an exceptional cast in strong support. Especially impressive is the very young Kurt Russell in his first leading role.FOLLOW ME, BOYS! shares much of the quality and entertainment value of such realistic Walt Disney classics as OLD YELLER, POLLYANNA and THOSE CALLOWAYS, along with their compelling spirit of genuine goodness and positive idealism. Perhaps more than any other of his films, it reflects in form and content Disney's admiration for the work of Frank Capra.The film is one of the most polished of Walt Disney's latter-day productions and was the last released during his lifetime; happily, he died knowing that it was a success.Rating: EXCELLENT.

I saw this movie in the theater when I was nine years old, and again just this week after buying the DVD for my grandkids.It was even better from my adult viewpoint, and I remembered loving it as a kid. I've whistled the "Follow Me Boys" tune off and on all my life.The story is told in a series of set pieces, much like the style of "It's a Wonderful Life". They hang together so well that you get a true sense of the passage of time within a recognizable framework of the town, and the characters and their lives.You'll end the movie wishing you had grown up in that town, and wishing that Fred MacMurray (or his character Lem Siddons), had been your friend and neighbor.If you don't shed a tear or two at the end, you're not human.

I remember first seeing this film one afternoon on T.V when I was about 5 with my older sister. It was a delightful film, however there was a part which made us cry for the rest of the afternoon.I recommend this film therefore with a caution;it will induce tears in most children. I have since been drawn back to it with a deadly fascination;as a person can be drawn back to the dancing of a flame after they have been burnt.I guess as people we never learn. However this film does bring good wholesome themes to light which are both diminishing and non-existent in today's modern society.

This is one if not the best story of non animation, and brings out the truth and love around a neighborhood in which we had in the world more. Especially with violence and hateful things that happen in this world. Helping others to accept others, and take others in and build characters, as well as communities. Giving others a chance to build ones ideals and life around others. With morals like the ones shown in this movie, give me a look back on life as I knew it in the early 1950's. One in which Kurt Russell and other youth learning to know each other, and strengthen others in the ways that one is wanted if they are living a great and wonderful world to enjoy a childhood. Please remember the title as not just for boys, but, is for all ages, to come.
