okay and it not exactly go with the wind or a great comedy and but this be a very cute movie . in fact and it so sweet and innocent that it a sort of live action cartoon that would be great for child . ( there be one instance where the squirrel be say to be dead but he open his eye so quickly that i do not think child would be upset . one of the downside i be go to say be that it wasn not in color and but i see that there be a colorized version . i would definitely recommend see that one over the black and white version i saw on tcm because a i say there be a real fairy tale feeling to the story and the color will add to that and especially if see for christmas . it even give a good morality lesson about prayer and use it a a gimmick and but be not overly preachy about it . i have to laugh out loud when they say the animation be so realistic . to our eye today it look ( much like march of the wooden soldier ) a if the animation be do in a 3rd grade video class and but that be part of the charm of the movie and i think you will find yourself laugh at it a i do and from the charm and not out of cynicism . but of course the main attraction be jimmy durante in an endearing role in which he get to crack joke and sing sweet song and just be his lovable self . this film will allow a whole new generation to fall in love with him . so definitely sit down and watch this movie and especially for the holiday and with the kid . it a sweet and sentimental and silly story about a saintly squirrel . but if you do not watch it you would be . ummm . nut . positive .
