-Comment: Joseph Ashton in light blue bibs (pictured left and backside on right pic 2). I'm not sure, perhaps 2 different bibs. Bibs are quite baggy but rather too big and heavy worn. Also a boy in light blue bibs and also grey looking, probably non jeans bibs (pic right). Both boys look like brother and might be Andrew Dickison and Stuart Dickison. Also some men in bibs.

I prefer this remake. (See also entry for 1974 version with the exact same plot and scenes but other actors). Good newer, timeless Disney family film with animals. I like these farm films playing in the 30s. Also good landscape scenes. Good bibs, some close up scenes. I think, there are also other boys in bibs. I have to watch this film again soon. There is also another film with the younger Ashton in bibs called The Education of Little Tree (see that entry).

DVD is RC1 with Widesceen and Fullscreen, and some good extras (documentary, interviews). Also english subtitles.
