-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy ~15
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, partly TV recording

-Comment: A teen boy in working bibs (not Schroder). Schroder who is the oldest son and looks grown up gives him a piggyback (close up scene). Good farm film. Others (some boys ~12 ys.) in good standard jeans. I like these farm movies. I don't remember the whole movie, I think only a few bib scenes. Don't know this actor's name. Must be the second oldest.

Big Red (1962)


Disney film about a boy and a dog.
-Year: 1962
-Year in film: 1930s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Rene ~13 , men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: Gilles Payant (pictured) wears bibs with hickory stripes, but not always. I can't find a YouTube trailer that could be embedded. Disney films are obviously quickly deleted, even trailers. Perhaps a good children's film. But there are better bib and Disney films. See other entries of Disney films like Rascal.
Edit: I have now seen most parts of this film and could only find some very few and short scenes in the middle of the film. Also at least 2 men in light blue working bibs on a train.

-Who in bibs: boy Little Mole ~10 ys, a man
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: medium?
-Rating:  4/10
-Rating: ****
-Comment: I don't know the whole movie. Authentic setting, good farm film, but I don't like the dirty bibs of Daniel Treat. Perhaps I will buy this film. Also swimming scenes without clothes. But I don't think, that this is a good bib film, although with farm setting.

Married with Children

-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: 3 boys, triplet sitting in the audience in light blue bibs. 2 in first row. I don't saw the whole episode, but at least 2 short scenes. I don't like this series anymore. I watched then the first seasons. Not a special bib series. And there are other comedy series like Home Improvement (also see this entry).

Maybe the same boys as in Safety Patrol.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain




Film with 3 Ninja boys.
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Amanda ~12, boy, women, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: yes, partly TV recording
-Bib occurrence: often *
-Rating:  7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Good film, girl wears light blue shortalls, a man dark blue bibs. Good action of the Ninja kids. Bibs mostly seen close up, so you can't see, that this are shortalls. There are also other films of this series and I like them all. But I don't remember any bib scenes in there. Picture showing Chelsey Earlywine as Amanda in shortalls.

Update: Now I have seen most parts again. More scenes of the shortalls than thought. The main problem is, she has a jacket bound around her hips at most parts of this movie. Also some young women in shortalls (and bibs?) but only supporting actresses. Originally rated 4, but now upgraded to 7.
Best scenes with her at the beginning where she was introduced (pic below). After flying with her model helicopter she jumped to the ground to avoid an approaching bike. Also a young black boy in similar light blue shortalls (pic top right, brief scene at the end, showing his side and back).

I think she acts like a tomboy (hacking a computer, model helicopter, cap, quite short hairstyle).
Sorry, I recorded it too late, so still no good pics of women yet. As my sooner recording is also uncomplete, I wait for the next broadcasting.


Now I also have film 2 with another girl in beige shortalls, also cycling but few scenes, rating 4. See

The Client


Film with Brad Renfro. Novel by John Grisham
-Year: 1994
-Year in film: 1990s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy Ricky ~7ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  3/10
-Rating: ***
-Comment: Good film, but not the bibs. Few scenes at the beginning of the film. Brad Renfro in standard jeans and smoking. Good performance of the young actors and some suspense. Ricky also tried smoking. They were lying next to each other on their stomachs. Picture showing Ricky (played by David Speck) on the left and Brad Renfro on the right.

So Dear to My Heart



Disney film about a boy and a black sheep.
-Year: 1948
-Year in film: 1903
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Jerry ~7, 2 boys ~13
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Bobby Driscoll with blue bibs. Also 2 unknown boys ~13ys and other men (very short scenes). Good farm and family film and funny plot. Already in color. I like those movies. But there could have been more bib scenes with older guys. There are also other Disney films with animals, like Rascal (see this entry). Image showing Jerry on the left side with straw hat.

The Summer of Walter Hacks



 Film about a farm boy. Black&White.
-Year: 2009
-Year in film: 1952
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Henry 11, Margaret ~12
-Available on DVD: yes ?
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often?
-Rating:  8/10
-Rating: ********
-Comment: Henry Woodard (pictured on left, son of the director) in light bibs. Seems to be a good farm film, boys bibs with no back bib (suspenders). girls bibs with back bib. Cycling scene. Possibly others in bibs. I don't know the whole film. Trailer and extended trailers now available also at YouTube, but I dont embed them because they are from the production company. Film finished in 2010 and I think already or shortly to be released in 2011 at cinemas. Looks very good. Girl with pigtails, played by Francesca Blanchard (right). Perhaps I would buy this DVD. Have to be updated this after viewing it.

Previously rating 7 now 8.

Update still not on DVD. Update 2025: I found a DVD offer on just one shop site, but I'm sceptical if this is on stock as not officially announced.)

The Grapes of Wrath


Film about the Great Depression. 2 Oscars.
-Year: 1940
-Year in film: 1930s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy ~7, girl ~12, other men and kids
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium?
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: I don't know the whole movie. Seems to be a good film with good scenes. B/w film. Perhaps I will buy this DVD. But I doubt that this is better than To Kill A Mockingbird (see that entry). I saw a clip on YouTube with this kids (recommendations, and not with the movie's title) but I can't find it anymore (deleted?) Also no official trailers hat could be embedded. I think they are also without the kids.
Edit: I now have seen some fragments of this film and it's not so bad, though few scenes with the kids. Image shows main character on the left, the girl and the boy at the front. I think I have seen another boy ~10ys and a very young girl (bibs with suspenders). If I would buy another b/w film (except To Kill a Mockingbird) I would buy this one, and not Los Olvidados). But I hope that this film will be broadcasted on TV.
