Street. It is the last 'One Boy and his Animal' themed film made by Disney, as this subgenre would eventually grow out of fashion. The 1972 film is a remake of a 1940 film starring Billy Lee as Lonnie. PlotThe story revolves around a German wirehair pointer named Moreover, who has a strong relationship with a red-headed boy named Lonnie (Johnny Whitaker) despite his mishaps. Moreover, is dealt to Willie Dorsey (Godfrey Cambridge), a gas station clerk, but Lonnie and his best friend Text regain possession of the dog. They train Moreover, to be a prize-winning bird pointer, entering him in a field trial. The dog was considered untrainable by its first owner, Lonnie's veterinarian father, but the two twelve-year-old boys take the time to make Moreover, an excellent working example of his breed. Much to the chagrin of Lonnie's father, Lonnie and Text decide to enter Moreover, in the state championship field trial. Moreover, does well, and an incident makes the boys think that Lonnie's father (Earl Holliman) will lose his dog training job if his dog, last year's champion SilverBelle, loses to their dark horse entry. Cast
Home mediaIt is a very little-known film, with availability restricted to the American Region 1 and German Region 2 DVDs. ReceptionA review in Variety faulted a "weak screenplay" but found that Whitaker and Spell "display confidence and surety, and delineate clear characterizations that make almost plausible the sugary events."[1] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called it "a fine Disney family film" with "a first-rate cast."[2] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one star out of four and asked, "What we want to know is, where in the world of space and time is 'The Biscuit Eater' supposed to take place? My preliminary guess is just outside of Never-Never Land sometime between 1850 and 1950 ... I acknowledge that the Disney people prefer to keep their films timeless to permit their perpetual release without being dated. But this time the temporal confusion is downright insulting."[3] See also
