We wish the ‘Dirty Dancing’ star spent more time in the Old West.
It’s certainly an ambitious film, but thats what makes it so enjoyable.
The mash-up is so unique that Disney even marketed it asThe Wizard of Ozset in the wild west.

Of course, the legends are made even more wonderful thanks to the incredible cast.
The ensemble is absolutely stacked with the aforementioned performers, andthey truly sell their larger-than-life roles.
Swayzes take on Pecos Bill is both charming and lighthearted.
Its a far cry fromDisneys earlier take on the character, which was far more cartoonish.
Its also a refreshing shake-up for Swayze when compared to his previous roles.
Roger Aaron Browns John Henry, on the other hand, is a fantastic hero.
He’s admirable, brave and fiercely protective, and well cared for by Brown.
The actor beautifully humanized the larger-than-life legend, and completely owns each of his scenes.
Her Tomboy antics and fierce personality are scene-stealing, encompassing, yet still leaves audiences wanting more.
Shes really the full package, representing strength, humor, and rebellion.
Shes truly a force of nature from the time she arrives on the scene.
It may have been long forgotten, butTall Taleis certainly an adventure that deserves to be revisited.
From an ambitious story to an unforgettable cast, the movie is just as warm as it is exciting.
Despite its mixed reviews and poor box office performance,its truly a gem, worthy of legendary status.
