Description

This classic Disney film stars Johnny Whitaker as Lonnie McNeil, a young boy who befriends a young bird dog. Deciding to train the dog as a hunting companion, Lonnie spends his days out on the Tennessee countryside with him, and quickly learns that the dog has a mischievous streak, including, as the film title implies, a insatiable taste for biscuits. However, Lonnie's friend Text convinces him that the dog will come around, and the two boys work hard to try and turn him into a championship bird dog.

    The Biscuit Eater is one of the least known about Disney films, which makes it all the more special for the few who have seen it. Charming from start to finish, the film covers two friends, Lonnie and Text, who raise a dog, oddly named Moreover, to hunt birds, leading them to enter him in competitions. However, the dog has an affinity for eggs and this gets him and the boys into trouble. While the plot is not particularly captivating, the story is well written and the acting is top notch. All of the characters are realistic and you get the sense that you've met these people before. On top of that, it's the first disney film since Song of the South where black actors share equal screen time with white characters. If you are a fan of other Disney animal movies like Old Yeller and Big Red, than you will love The Biscuit Eater.
