I’m trying to watch the entire Disney movies both animated and live action starting from 1937 to the present 2023. There’s only one movie so far I hadn’t been able to watch (Westard Ho, the Wagon) and I’m debating on forcing myself to watch the Pirates of the Carribean franchise because of how gross out I was when I saw a bit of it years ago after I watched something else.
The last movie I was on was Disney’s The Sign of Zorro (1958). It was quiet an entertaining movie. I didn’t really know much about the character of Zorro except for a character from A Cinderella Story (2004) being dressed up as the character for the Homecoming/Halloween dance.
As I said the movie was called. The movie is based apperently on the first epoisde of the Zorro TV show from around the same time. That Diego is called back from Spain by his father for some reason and discovers that Calforina has a bad Commandante in the area where the Diego’s family lives. Diego pretends to be what we would call a nerdy guy but behind the scenes (sort of) he will be a sort of amigos to the folk by being a hero. His mute servant Bernado pretends to be deaf as awell as mute in order to fool people into talking while around him. In the end the Commandante gets his desserts.
In one scene where Zorro has to try to fight with a doppleganger the Commandante had tried to have rob other people in the tavern. But before the two Zorros fight the fake!one goes to one balocny and there’s no ladder and then when he’s trying to get to the other bacolony Berendo switches the ladder to the other balcony.
But the movie was really good. I don’t know If will want to watch the TV series because of it being the same plot for several eposides or so I have heard.
