SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

macpet49-1 When Disney goes bad. If Disney didn't produce this, it should have. It was doing all those Shaggy Dog and Herbie movies at that time. This is just before Eddie Albert went over to the dark side and took the money for horrible TV spots like 'Green Acres'. He had done some quite good character acting in the past. Jane Wyatt is fresh from her long running papp with Robert Young 'Father Knows'. Brenda Lee pretends to be the butch Southern daughter. The kids are Disney kid regulars. Watch it if you're sick and want mindless TV on background. It's pretty sugary stuff. If you still believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and leprachauns, enjoy.

sawood-1 I saw this movie in 1961 or 1962. I was too young to judge its quality. It wouldn't be hard for me to believe that it wasn't that good by adult standards but I liked it a lot as a kid. It was good to see Little Brenda Lee at her peak as a singer. I believe there were plans at that time to move her toward acting. As has been mentioned in other comments on this movie, there are several people in the cast who were quite noted at that time. This movie is a rare opportunity to see them.I would love to see it again but do not know of any sources for obtaining a copy. I'm curious as to how others have seen it.

gohurdler1 "The Two Little Bears" is an exceedingly terrible film. It's a wannabee Disney movie that was made by 20th Century Fox in 1961. The special effects are poor. It has a very good cast whose talents weren't fully realized in this production. Soupy Sales is a very funny comedian but his humor wasn't utilized in this movie as Officer McGovern. Eddie Albert as Harry Davis (the father) was good in the film. Albert was in his early 50's when he played the role so he fit well into the character. The children, Butch Patrick and Donnie Carter in the film seemed to blasé and the names Timmy and Billy were so generic it's like the writers didn't even try. The child actors probably weren't seasoned enough as actors or maybe the script wasn't good enough for them to work with as material.The film has a cheesy story line of two children that can wish themselves into becoming bear cubs. Their power to will themselves into bear cubs causes problems for their father played by Albert who is trying to get promoted as a principle at the school district that he works at. The film has a cheesy ending which is predictable. If the film were good I could have tolerated the cheesy ending.This isn't a film that I would advice in purchasing or renting unless you are truly bored to death or are big admirers of the actors in it.

bux The cast is about the only interesting thing in this unremarkable story of two boys that use magic and wishing to become bear cubs. Eddie (Green Acres) Albert, Jane (Father Knows Best) Wyatt, and Brenda (the singer) Lee perform their acting chores admirably, but the story line and script are just too thin. Scenes of the boys turning to bear cubs feature zee-roe special effects, this one was made in the 60s, but c'mon!! The supporting roles are gleaned from the Who's Who of TV...Jimmy (Mousketeer) Boyd, Nancy (Beverly Hillbillys) Kulp, and Soupy (pie-in-the-face) Sales among others. This might be a good one for the grandkids...just to show them what we had to put up with in the 50s and 60s.
