        A bit on the barfy side. A young man decides to raise a deer and becomes a man. Let's forget about this one, shall we?

        WOW! FANTASTIC! Good thing OZ was made in year 1939, because that would have stolen the prize but, I have to say that this movie is comparable to the Wizard of Oz!
