Title: Should have been a theatrical release first.
Review: Who's running Disney marketing. I loved this film. It is a classic Americana family film the should have been shown in the theatres first during Christmas before going to DVD. With the Millions who have read the book over the past 35 years (book Number 2 of all times for 35 years) and the 30 Million plus Dave Matthews fans, it was destined to be a huge box office hit. What would Walt think about Disney not releasing this film to theatres if he were alive? Disney let this one slip right through their fingers. There was magic between Joseph Ashton (Billy Coleman) and Dabney Coleman (Grandpa). They both did a great acting job, and Dave Matthews did great his first time out. With music classics in the same film like Mac Davis, Kris Kristofferson, and Dave Matthews, there should have been a theme song done by the three. Disney marketing did a grave diservice to a great classic film!
