Electoral College, 1 August 2006
10/10
Author: RepMaj04 from United States

I saw this movie as a kid, when it premiered. In fact, I saw it every Saturday while it ran. This is where I first learned of the Electoral College. However, the movie has been chopped up since then. A lot of good musical numbers are missing. I can't find the original length version anywhere, and that's a shame because a lot of people are missing a considerable portion of the movie.

I wonder if Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn even noticed each other on the set? Leslie Ann Warren and Goldie Hawn were fresh, and at their best! Too bad Walt had to go. Michael Eisner will never come close to the magic of those classic Disney days.
