[nagdu] "Atta Girl, Kelly" movie on DVD

[solsticesinger]

I remember seeing this movie on TV when I was a kid. It was actually 
partially responsible for making me a guide dog handler.

Hi everyone,
The Disney "Wonderful World of Color" three-part movie, "Atta Girl, Kelly" 
is now available on DVD! It is available for purchase via the Disney Movie 
Club.  The DVD features the entire three parts of the movie that was run in 
the mid 1960s on the Sunday night weekly show, "Walt Disney's Wonderful 
World of Color".  Also on the DVD is a short piece about The Seeing Eye that 
was filmed last fall. There is also an audio part that is the 1966 Seeing 
Eye Holiday recording of Walt Disney's actual voice on that record where he 
sends greetings to the graduates and announces the feature film on his show 
that was about to come out.

To get the DVD, go to disneymovieclub.com and sign up for their club.  For 
membership, you do have to buy some movies.  Once you join, you can get all 
kinds of great old Disney movies that aren't available in stores.  I am 
slowly turning over my Disney VHS tapes to DVDs.  You can get them on Blue 
Ray if you have that or regular DVD.  No VHS tapes.

The Disney Movie Club has a phone number to join by.  The website is hard to 
use. I used the phone number to join and then used the website to see and 
order movies.  The number is 1-800-362-4587. You can also order via phone. 
"Atta Girl, Kelly" is under the Disney Exclusives link.

For me, watching the movie brought back memories of my youthful Sunday 
nights at my grandparents watching their color TV.  We didn't have one yet. 
That Disney show was one of the first shows to be presented in "living 
color" as they put it.  That movie was my introduction to guide dogs and The 
Seeing Eye.  I never knew it that I would one day have one of those 
wonderful dogs from The Seeing Eye!

The movie doesn't really show the whole reality of the role of the puppy 
raiser but it does pretty well hit the nail on the head with issues of 
trusting your dog, dogs who flunk out while on class, and the need to handle 
the dog differently than as a plain old household pet.

I bought the movie for myself and one for another Seeing Eye grad here in 
San Diego.

It is unfortunately not available on Discriptive Video Services.  Also, the 
movie, "Love Leads The Way" is not available - I have a copy that was 
recorded onto DVD by a friend who saw it on the Disney Channel on TV.

Take care,

Linda and Landon
