Mickey B. @Mickerdoo 3d Has some charm. Ives is quite likable. Hamilton should’ve come home sooner. Music was underwhelming.

'Summer Magic' isn't entertaining. You have Hayley Mills (Nancy), Burl Ives (Osh) and Dorothy McGuire (Margaret) all giving alright performances but most others things in this film are very plain. The musical numbers are forgettable, as is the overall premise and supporting cast under Mills, Ives and McGuire. I have most definitely seen worse from the studio, this is still at least watchable. Going back to the plot, it just feels a bit slapped together without much thought or solid connection. The film ends quite abruptly, too. 1963, it's safe to say, wasn't Disney's strongest year for live-action. This adds to the disappointments of 'Son of Flubber', 'Miracle of the White Stallions' and 'Savage Sam'. Here's hoping 'The Incredible Journey' will conclude their releases from these twelve months on a high. See more 05/08/2015 I watched the hell out of this movie as a kid. A fun movie to relax with, but with little conflict to really compel the viewer to get invested in what little story there is. I do love the "Pink of Perfection" song. See more 08/13/2014 A sweet inoffensive story, which filled a couple of hours, but didn't hold my attention much as I'd hoped. See more 04/21/2014 It was not magical, but it does have the Disney cheese to warm your belly. See more Read all reviews
