    FUNNY!!!!

    You may not believe it, but this movie was EXTREMELY funny. And I don't mean it was funny because it was bad, it wasn't bad at all. It was surprisingly very well done and very funny. Some of the jokes were a bit much, and almost made it deserve an PG Rating or higher, but most stay out of the gutter and sexual joke area. If you enjoy the humor in such classics as Ghostbusters and American Beauty, you will LOVE this film and I guarantee you will want to purchase it right away.

    All right I had this film when I was about 9,or 8. It was very funny. I can't believe I said that. It had some silly humor. But the songs weren't needed. This movie was just something I rember,having fun. I`ve seen all most all of these cute little videos. They were fun at the time. I gave them to a little cousin so he could have that fun,I had.

    3/4

    Masterpiece

    What costs nothing but is worth everything? Weighs nothing but lasts a lifetime? That one person can't own but two people can share?

    Staple of my Childhood

    The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald movies are a staple of my childhood. It boggles my mind that other people, at least my age, don't know about these! They're so cute, timeless, and awesome collectors pieces. Scared Silly is probably my favorite out of all the McDonald's movies. I was impressed to see that rewatching these as an adult they still hold up with the times. I wish the McDonald's company continued with their amazing merchandise, movies, and characters. The characters themselves are lost to time anymore, so sad. But these movies are so much fun.

    The first of a decent children's series

    Like the title suggests, this is the first of six direct-to-sale videos developed by Klasky-Csupo (Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys) for McDonalds. It features Ronald McDonald in both Live-action and animated segments and is very... well... "Klasky-Csupo" (if you've ever seen Rugrats, you know what I mean.)

    The titles in the series include: Scared Silly, Grimace Island, Visitors from Outer Space, Birthday World, Have Time, Will Travel and The Legend of Mcdonald-Land Loch.

    As an adult, I can barely sit through these programs. The music is gawd-awful and the story lines too sickeningly sweet and have positive messages to a fault. However, my kids adore them. Even though they were produced as early as 1998, they continue to request them even now. So, they definitely have staying power within their target audience which is more than I can say about the vast majority of the competition.

    Finding these movies today might prove difficult as they were primarily released only at McDonald's Restaurants on a limited basis. However, scan your garage sales, pawn shops, and the video store discount shelves and you might get lucky!
