Giant Didn't Die

I don't have a copy of the movie for accurate reference, but shortly after the Mickey and The Beanstalk segment returned to Edgar Bergen and friends, Willie the Giant tore the roof off the house, asking for directions (or something). He then took the giant hat from the Brown Derby restaurant and walked away. Although the animated segment implied that Willie died from the fall, the live-action bookend softened the blow by showing he survived. Just1thing (talk) 17:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I own the movie on Blu-ray and while Willie wasn't asking for directions, he was asking if they had seen a "teensy, weensy, little mouse", meaning Mickey. So you are right, he did not die. The article has been fixed to clarify this. Also added is that the other version of the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment (with Ludwig Von Drake) still has mostly the same ending. I've seen that version too; it is on Netflix along with other Mickey Mouse cartoons. Kkjj (talk) 23:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Fairly decent

>"The film was released on September 27, 1947 and enjoyed fairly decent reception.

Define "fairly decent," please. Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 02:51, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Are you speaking to someone in particular? If you have a problem with promotional tone, which this unsourced summary of critical response presents, delete it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm still trying to find sources for the reception, but it does have 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Rotten Tomatoes page has 8 reviews so far and 6 are fresh. Can we add more reviews? I need to know which are the most reliable. I honestly really enjoyed the movie, so I would have said higher than 75%. I would make it more like 92%. Meanwhile, the average rating from critics is a 6/10. I would have given it an 8/10 rating. No, I'm not saying they did. Anyway, which reviews should I mention?

If no one responds, I will try to WP:Be bold and add them myself. Note I will do the best I can on these. Kkjj (talk) 23:51, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

I started it, but I need to know that what I wrote is exceptable. There are 6 more reviews I need to cover. Kkjj (talk) 00:48, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

New book can be a major source

Film historian J.B. Kaufman has just released his new book dedicated to Fun and Fancy Free, titled The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free. This article can potentially benefit from the new research Kaufman has conducted for the book. LionFosset (talk) 17:54, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
