Mighty Joe Young (review)
Disney hasn’t had much of a track record lately when it comes to live-action films — its latest, My Favorite Martian, is a forgettable mess, strangely full of both preschooler toilet humor and situations way too risque for young eyes. So how delightful it is to find that Mighty Joe Young is a family movie in the old style — it’s Brothers-Grimm scary but not bloody or overly violent, it doesn’t offer a single fart joke, and you won’t need to cover the kids’ eyes during the love scene, which consists only of a sweet, romantic kiss.
