Munchkins Or Nelson Eddie?
19 November 1998 | by Greg-83 – See all my reviews

It's been a number of years since I saw this masterpiece...and I still laugh when I think about it. How can you not like something as off the wall as this flick.

Aside from the small people and small ponies, etc., I was most surprised by the singing. Not that singing westerns are a novelty, mind you, it's just that after hearing the leading lady squeak like a munchkin, I wasn't prepared for the leading man to have a full, booming, Nelson Eddie-type voice.

This one's a natural for a night with friends, a large bowl of popcorn and plenty of substitute dialog.
