In "Tall Tale" you have all the makings of a classic story. There is a very appealing, naïve young hero, who overcomes huge obstacles to right a terrible wrong, at great personal risk and potential loss. You have a greasy, sharp-tongued villain and a herd of similar henchmen. You have an evil machine that seems to have a life of its own. You have the classic motive for action both good and ambiguous--money-and you have three--not one, but three--larger than life legendary heroes, who mentor and protect the naive, young hero, but do not diminish him by solving his problem for him. It's a western, America's favorite genre, wonderfully cast, beautifully staged, and lovingly filmed. The wide open west, the mountains, the desert appear as if they were just made for the locale of the story. For the first 10 or 20 minutes, you won't even be fully convinced that it is a fantasy. The legendary heroes begin to grow larger than life; the villains get slimier and slimier. I'm giving nothing away by telling you that it all comes out well in the end (all tall tales do), but not without some last minute heroics by the protagonists. Best of all this is movie kids can watch and enjoy as much as the adults. The modest violence is child's play compared to more modern films, and the villains manage to exude evil without using a single bad word. If you want to see an uplifting, you-can-do-it-if-you-try movie, get "Tall Tale" while copies are still available. This is a true classic.Read full review
Obviously other people that have reviewed this movie didn't know what the "Reviews and Guides" section of ebay is all about. They used this as a forum to voice their complaint about the quaility of the movie they bought! ** Please read this review**!!! This movie is really 3 great stories in one. Pecos Bill takes a young man on an adventure of a life time to go meet Babe the Blue Ox and Paul Bunyun and John Henry. Patrick Swayze is Pecos Bill and he does a great job. The acting is good and the story is great for all ages. I loved it as a child and my children love it. I would encourage anyone who wants a good movie and children and adults will love to watch this movie. Disney quality and speacial effects are great. Story has a great moral. Highly recomended. I wish there were more on ebay so that all could purchase one!Read full review
