The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
Disney's marketing department added a small sticker to the film's poster saying "All New!" possibly due to the fact that people thought this was just a re-release (which The Disney Company was well known for during the '70s, '80s and' 90s) of the original film The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975). Posters exist both with and without the sticker.,When Amos and Theodore first ride into town, they pass an alley through which a hanging electric lamp and power pole with transformer are visible.,Theodore Olevie: First thing we're going to do is open a bank account.
Amos Tucker: Now, is that different from opening a safe?,Featured in The Age of Believing: The Disney Live Action Classics (2008),in my mind this sequel is better than the first movie.i thought it was funnier,and much better paced.it's shorter,but there's more packed into it.the story is better.Tom Conway and Don Knotts reprise their roles from the first one.unfortunately Bill Bixby does not return.on the plus side,there is more comic mayhem in this one and more action in general.once again,the movie is family friendly.again,if you have nothing else to do on a lazy Sunday,you could do worse than this movie.like the first one,it's no masterpiece,and it's not supposed to be one.it is however an improvement.for me,The Apple Dumpling Gang is a 6/10,
