Review of Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus (1960) by Simon D — 04 Mar 2016
Well Disney certainly won't be pulling this one out of their locker for any prime time christmas day slots at any point in the future. They really gloss over a lot of social issues to make a nice well-rounded family movie.
I'm talking about the fact that mistreating 8 year old step children is not really acceptible anymore, circuses have never been known for their morals which we do see here a bit, such as luring 8 year old kids to run away from their homes into slavery, their treatment of the animals and the dodgy muck they peddle as food.
The also missed out the bit where the circus people creep into the villagers gardens late at night to steal your copper before buggering off to the do the same to the next poor village.
