Viewing Notes

For my Childhood Movies Project. One I wasn’t as excited to revisit (watched it a lot as a kid) even though it’s been easily 35 years since I’ve seen this movie. I am glad I picked this up because it’s a damn good movie. So much better than I remembered. The summer camp stuff is so great and the final camping sequence as well. Hayley Mills was an amazing child actor and definitely one of the treasures of that era of Disney movies.
