The Adventures of Francis the Talking Mule - Vol. 1 (DVD, 2004)

I bought this DVD because I recently purchased my first mule and having grown up watching the Francis movies decided to see if these films could still be relevant today. Surprisingly I found the answer to be yes and can highly recommend a viewing or re-viewing of these wonderfully entertaining films. Starring Donald O'Connor as the mule's friend and confidant, Chill Wills brings the voice of Francis to life with his smooth southern drawl and sage advice.... advice that it would be wise to heed today by individuals and governments alike.

Weird, clever comedy. Francis seems to have more sense than any of the people! This series of movies from the 40's and 50's is suitable to show to children and they are good, silly fun. They were favourites of mine when I was a child.

GREAT MOVIE they don't make movies like that any more,, good for the whole family this isnt all the Francis movies, hope they release the rest of them soon

I remember watching these movies when I was very young and these movies bring back great childhood memories. They don't make family movies like these anymore. This is a great collection to add to my movie library.

I remember watching on TV and wanted to have a dvd on a series of movies to enjoy again. Donald O'Conner and to hear the voice of the mule, you just know who that was.

I love it!! I'm a big fan of Francis...I grew up watching his movies on the Late show or on the weekly family movie. I had to add it to my collection. What I dislike about it is it's missing ONE Francis movie...Francis Joins the WACS.

I remembered watching "Francis the Talking Mule" movies when I was a kid and wanted to see them again. They're still funny to me, but possibly too slow-paced for today's kids.

I couldn't wait to receive this disk with the 4 movies so I could add it to the collection I am making to show my grandchild what movies were like when I was growing up and I didn't have to wait long. I'm so delighted both with the product and the short wait time.

i am a donald o'connor fan and really wanted a francis the talking mule movie and am very happy with the dvd and appreciate the quick delivery

I gave this an excellent rating because it was delivered as advertised shortly after purchase and was exactly as described.

I have been wanting this dvd for years because my uncle was a director of photography in Hollywood and was the one that filmed this series. I had not seen any of the Francis movies for years.

The movie was an old memory for me, I much enjoyed it in my youth. It was the first time I, and animal lover, saw an animal "talk", a fore-runner to the television series, "Mr. Ed".I cannot think of anything that I dislike about this movie collection !! As the years pass, this Movie grows more fond!!

A very funny story about a talking army mule, very clean, no bad language or shameful attire. I really enjoyed the humor and the language and how the movie is not just dumb. I am sure any one 2 to 102 would enjoy this movie.

These classic movies are always a lot of fun to watch. We older adults enjoy remembering the antics of Peter Stirling and Francis the mule, and the younger generation finds them just as entertaining. After the first adjustment of seeing movies in black and white again as opposed to color, I find you get past that fast and just enjoy the films.

all mule 'skinners' and wanna be mule 'skinners' and 50s kids all will want to repeat this memory! - interesting social commentary and for trivia champs as well

I have been looking for this for a long time and was pleased how fast it was sent to me you are great

Great Movie!!! It is very well done... I bought this movie for a gift and the person I will be giving this movie to will be really loving it!!! I would tell anyone to buy this DVD if you like old movies.....

fast delivery, the quality was better than I expected !fast delivery, the quality was better than I expected !
