The Bargain Nexus - Sammy the Way Out Seal

When they arrive home, many hilarious things happen as they try to keep Sammy hidden. A pool party becomes a town party in the neighbors pool, and disastorous results in the town grocery store all lead up to a hilarious and enjoyable ending to a classic Disney family movie. It portrays the typical "nuclear" family that is very close. Although this isn't the norm today, it is still an enjoyable "nostalgic" film that you can let your children see without the fear of foul language, violence or sex.

Sammy the Way-Out Seal was often shown on a Wonderful World of Disney, broken up into two one hour episodes. The video is also available (usually only in rental stores, ebay or Amazon as you can see) in it's entirety.

Bill Mummy, Michael McGreevey, and the very young Ann Jillian create a very laid-back film that I enjoyed as a child, and my child now enjoys as well. The families, the clothes and the fashions may have changed, but the delightful story and innocent characters will carry on for generations to come.

The reviewer from Portland is right, this can be viewed as "A period piece, this film is so campy it held my interest just observing mens' and womens' roles, the expressions used, etc." The boosterism guy wants to rip out all the quaint old gingerbread on the stores downtown and replace it with plastic and neon. The swimcaps on the women are a throwback hoot!

But the true brotherly love and their compassion for the animal is timeless. And the trek through the supermarket is one of the funniest movie segments I've ever seen!
