Movie Reviews

Though this movie only shows the happenings of one day, it feels like enough excitement to fill an entire year. The destitute Miss Pettigrew, played by Frances McDormand, starts her day off getting fired from her latest job as a nanny, and going to the employment agency.

Who doesn't love stories about the triumph of the little guy? This is a story of life before soap, plumbing, or take out and yet as horrible as that sounds, the movie was wonderful.

This movie will always be in style. When it was first released in 1961 it was considered the most modern Disney film of all. Now, 47 years later as Disney releases in on DVD and Blue Ray platinum edition, its style and story still stand out.

This was such a fun movie to watch! The animation is colorful, smooth and beautifully simple. It reminded me of Dr. Seuess's work. The story is original and entertaining.
