One aspect of this film that lived with me forever is the Model T. At the age 7 I zeroed in on this car and that it could fly caught my mind in that odd way that Age 7 stuff does. I have on my bookshelf a recovered edition, Ebay, of the Disney golden book edition with some marvelous pen-ink drawings, one of them a closeup of the car. So much was I into this that in Christmas of 1962, my parents bought a 1/2 scale Model T (gasoline engine, you can see them on Ebay if you look for mini model T) as the present of my life. I flipped totally. And I still have the car, sitting in the barn in the back yard.
So films like this bring back fond memories indeed. It is not perfect and slow at times and just too "disney" for it's age, but it warms the soul.
