Superstar Patrick Swayze (Ghost) stars as gun-slinging, tornado-riding cowboy legend Pecos Bill in Disney's most rousing Western adventure yet! Summoned by the imagination of a young boy, Pecos sets out to help the lad save the family farm from a greedy land-grabber. Teaming with two other larger-than-life heroes -- a mighty lumberjack and a hulking railroad worker -- they embark on an incredible journey where danger and surprises await at every turn. Packed with plenty of rollicking action and visual effects, untamed adventure doesn't ride any faster or shoot any straighter than "Tall Tale."

Tall Tale Film Synopsis

A young boy draws on the inspiration of legendary western characters to find the strength to fight an evil land baron in the old west who wants to steal his family's farm and destroy their idyllic community. When Daniel Hackett sees his father Jonas gravely wounded by the villainous Stiles, his first urge is for his family to flee the danger, and give up their life on a farm which Daniel has come to despise anyway. Going alone to a lake to try to decide what to do, he falls asleep on a boat and wakes to find himself in the wild west, in the company of such "tall tale" legends as Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, John Henry and Calamity Jane. Together, they battle the same villains Daniel is facing in his "real" world, ending with a heroic confrontation in which the boy stands up to Stiles and his henchmen, and rallies his neighbors to fight back against land grabbers who want to destroy their town.

Tall TaleThis was always a favorite of mine. From this first time I saw it I've always loved it. Disney never made this film to it's full potential as it should have been. If only they put a little more money into the film it might have blasted to the public better..Score: 5/5

The Best Folk Hero Story of All TimeI watched this movie as a kid and still watch it every now and then to take me back to when I was a small little boy. This is a story of the good spirit of man triumphing over evil and a father and son rediscovering their love for eachother in a common belief of the Pecos Bill and the Code of The West..Score: 5/5
