2 feel good films---

---for the super hot Heartland USA:

Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936) Freddie Bartholomew, C. Aubrey Smith, Delores Costello, Guy Kibbee. Made from an 1880's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this is a loving, sweet story of a fatherless boy and his mother and how they come into their own. The grandfather is gruff and unforgiving of his son for marrying a foreigner and going off to America. But all is put right by the sweet grandson, who loves his father's "dearest" as he calls his mother. Called back to England to take his rightful place at the manor, little Lord Fauntleroy is the pride and joy of everyone on the estate in short order. A wonderful film to this day for all who have a heart and are willing to go along with a world of make believe. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027893/


WALL-E (2008 - Animated Adventure) All machines and toys. None of those pesky humans. A charming movie, but I did nod off for a few minutes. But then, I'm an Ancient Pelican, not the target audience. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/
