I had Mother Goose Rock N' Rhyme recorded on VHS when I was a kid. I never could even sit through the whole thing-- I think my parents liked it better than I did for some reason :P

@skystarless It was obviously made for kids, but I think it was also aimed towards baby boomer parents by casting all of those aging musicians and celebrities.

are you kidding me? "Mother Goose Rock & Rhyme" was one of my favorite movies when i was little, i could prob. still recite a good 90% of that movie. I wish disney was still showing good movies like they used to

[80sCommercialVault]

"Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and virtually everything produced in the last 15 years by Disney is indicative to me that the Walt Disney Company I grew up with is no more, and has transformed into something entirely different.

[rainer1980]

Walt Disney himself said, "I don't make movies for kids. I make movies for adults that they can take their kids to." So it's no surprise that they used to show all these classics.

wow!

disney channel was sooo cool then!

they showed alot of timeless classics!

i was born in 1989

so i definitely wouldn't remember this whatsoever lol

[RADICALGENESISDUDE]

@skystarless Why dont you upload it to youtube?

[homeofthebadguys]

@80sCommercialVault Blame the Teenity-Boppity bullshit of today.

[ViperRob42]

@skystarless I got Rock N Rhyme on ebay a decade ago on VHS lol, I rewatched it and actually enjoyed it a bit, I know now being older I can more recognize the colorful cast of characters and find some even funnier now (like Paul Simon as Simple Simon) but yea, classic!!!! thanks for the uploads!

[Blugrasschck14]

oo man i totally remember all these movies....I think we still have the vhs's of what we my mom taped when I was lil. :) sooo much better then disney channel now. Bring back the old disney channel!! or have a classic channel!!

[alycaly]

Same here! I loved that movie! I told my mom about it the next day and couldn't find the movie anywhere. Now, over 10 years later I remembered what it was called and finally found it! I'm 16 and I miss old Disney shows and movies.

Goodbye Miss 4th!! That was filmed in Jonesboro, TN, the town next to where I grew up and I remember as a little kid when they were filming they had dirt all over the roads and stuff! I still have the film on VHS somewhere I think. Anyone know if it's ever been released to DVD?

[Saskitza]

I know!! i can't believe it, mann they have changed it so much. i hate how they changed things. no its for like childred 10 and under. they should play some of these old movies now-and-then
