Toby Tyler (1959)
Member Rating:  
Child star Kevin "Moochie" Cocoran shares his top billing with a chimp, Mr. Stubbs, in this story about a forlorn lad who runs away from his foster parents believing he is unloved. Little Toby and his pet chimp leave home and end up at the circus as an oily yet comic Harry Tupper (Bob Sweeney), in charge of a concessions stand, takes them under his wing. Between the circus acts and friendly performers, as well as the antics of Mr. Stubbs and Harry himself, there is plenty to amuse viewers of any age. Sure enough, Toby manages to come to the rescue of the circus when it most needs help, and because this is a Disney film, those foster parents are certain to discover his whereabouts. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    Back when I was a kid (I think Ulysses S. Grant was President), Kevin Corcoran (aka "Moochie") was the kid I wanted to be, and like many, I had the dream of running away with the circus. So this, his biggest starring vehicle, was my ultimate wish-fulfillment movie, and easily my favorite of its era. Can't actually say that I have my finger on the pulse of kids of today, as to whether clean, exciting, colorful, pure-Disney entertainment will glue them to their seats as it did me, but I suspect it will.

    We loved this movie! We had just gone to see the Barnum and Bailey Circus with our two boys (4 and 7) and my husband remembered seeing it as a kid and thought it'd be a good movie for our kids to see. Young kids today don't realize how important the circus was to people in years past when the circus was just about the only entertainment around. There weren't TVs and movie theaters back then...
