it IS for children, 31 July 2003
Author: Wilfried Wittkowsky from Germany

I have seen this movie in the German dubbed version when I was 7 years old and it was the very first movie I ever have seen in a cinema. I was absolutely stunned, especially with the "special-effect" of Bob Hope being hurled away from a tree. I liked the movie very much those days and even today, when it occasionally shows up in our TV, I still like it.
