![]() He suffers for his goodness but has strength of heart. Jason Robards plays Will's father, and is the epitome of flawed goodness. The acting is good all around with two standouts. It uses dark landscapes, eerie haunting music, and bleak characterizations to perfection. It is easily the darkest of any Disney film(even considering the outstanding The Hunchback of Notre Dame). The atmosphere is chilling to say the least. The story centers around two small boys, Will and Jim, and how their lives change and the townfolk around them when a carnival comes to town. ![]() This film explores the petty desires of everyday people, their eagerness to give what is really important in life up for things like vanity, lust, money, etc. Ray Bradbury and the makers of this film ventured into foreign territory for the Disney Studios, they went to explore the dark side of humanity and came back with the honest truth that much of humanity is plagued and there are shiny bright spots within. ![]()
