Item Description...
Outline
Bill Bixby plays a 19th-century gambler who inherits responsibility for three orphans, but the kids in turn have something of value: a huge gold nugget. This Disney film from 1975 is an enjoyable potboiler with its sentimentality under control and the accent on laughs, most of which are provided, not unexpectedly, by Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves who want to get their hands on the treasure. An easy, safe film for children. You can't go wrong with this. --Tom Keogh
Description
Head for cover! Don Knotts and Tim Conway are Wild West outlaws who can't hit the broad side of a barn -- but never miss when it comes to rounding up laughs! The hilarity begins when a roving bachelor (Bill Bixby) inherits three young orphans and a wealth of problems. When the youngsters stumble upon a huge golden nugget, they must fend off the greedy townspeople. So the kids join forces with the bumbling outlaws to stage a robbery of the gold. Little do they know a surly gang of sharpshooters plans to beat them to the draw! If you're aiming for fun, saddle up and head out with THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG!

 | Great family movie Feb 16, 2008 |
| I agree with the review written by cordell jeffries. This is a movie for the entire family with no worries about what will be said or what you will view on screen. I am enjoying introducing my 8-year-old daughter to all the movies I watched when I was younger and the movies her 25-year-old brother watched over and over as a child. I only wish those making movies today would take note and realize that not everyone wants to hear vulgar words and view explicit scenes in movies or even on television for that matter. I would highly recommend this movie for families and anyone looking for some innocent laughs. Tim Conway and the late Don Knotts provide plenty. | | | | Great classic knotts/conway movie Jan 18, 2008 |
| My 6 year old son saw this movie at school and begged for it. I had no idea that it would appeal to today's kids. I saw it at the movies when I was a kid. WE love it. Good clean fun for all ages. | | | | A classic children's film Dec 11, 2007 |
| These days we cannot allow our children to watch actual television, so we supply them with good wholesome entertainment. This is a classic fun movie from my own childhood that my kids will enjoy for years to come. | | |  | outstanding alternative to Disney/Pixar formulaic releases of today Oct 17, 2007 |
there isn't a star-studded soundtrack. there aren't guest appearances by every grown-up's favorite comedians. there is a noticeable lack of sarcasm. there aren't any kids saying grown-up "quasi curse phrases" like "that blows!" "he sucks" or any of that stuff.
in other words, it's vintage disney -- from that era when disney actually created movies for CHILDREN, instead of attempting to entertain "the entire family" by introducing borderline material that most kids under the age of 10 (like my 8- and 5-year-old) have no business hearing.
the "villains" are silly, hapless caricatures of "bad guys," and while they do carry and shoot guns, it's very stooges-y slapsticky types of "violence." somewhere along the line, "modern parents" and pop culture collectively decided that silly armed villains are a bigger menace to society than children who say mean, hurtful, sarcastic things to each other, their parents, teachers and all other adults/authority figures.
frankly, movies like THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG are more than funny and entertaining; they possess a charm and innocence that children aren't allowed to have anymore, because america wants their children to grow up as soon as possible. unfortunately, on a social level, "growing up" too often means being disrespectful, negative, cynical and sarcastic at far too early an age.
don't mean to be on the soapbox, don't mean to be too old-fashioned, but this wonderful movie is more than just a fun two hours for the family...it's a reminder that maybe it's not such a bad idea to make childhood last a little longer than it seems to now.
worth every penny...just like the benji and original herbie movies. my kids love it! | | | | Hilarious and kid friendly Jul 29, 2007 |
| Don Knotts and Tim Conway are about the funniest pair ever and this is a great movie to watch with your kids. I enjoy watching comedies with my kids and there isn't a whole lot out nowadays that you can safely watch without embarrassing moments. | | | Write your own review about The Apple Dumpling Gang (Special Edition)
