The Wonderful World of Disney: Dad, Can I Borrow the Car? / The Hunter and the Rock Star Customer Review: Nostalgic for Uncle Walt
This video has 2 separate adventure episodes from “The Wonderful World of Disney” television show that played on Sunday nights from 1953 to 1983. The first is one of my favorites, the comedy “Dad Can I Borrow the Car”, originally aired in 1972 after first serving as a theatrical featurette in 1970. In a twist from the usual plans for these shows, the studio originally planned this as a TV episode, but during production they changed it into a theatrical featurette since it was turning out so well. Later they had to add more material to make it fit the time frame needed for the TV show when the decided to air it there. Americans love their cars, but hate the pollution, traffic, bad drivers, and such that comes with car ownership. A mix of some terrific animation bits mixed with a live action story of a kid who wants to own a car and his experiences buying a car and in driver’s education. Hilarious family fare and I and my 9 year old son really enjoy it.

This next episode is more serious fare, first aired in 1980. “Hunter and the Rock Star” originally was titled “Sultan and the Rock Star” is a story about a tame tiger who is taken to a rich man’s private island to be hunted. The tiger is tormented by the gamekeeper in order to make him mean for the owner to hunt down. A young Timothy Hunter plays a rock star who is hiding from his fans and tries to help the tiger. I highly recommend this video.
