The Brave Engineer (film #11 on Disc #1 of Disney Rarities DVD (Disney, 2005)). [Category: Hollywood]

Disney tells the story of Casey Jones of folksong fame in this fun cartoon. Casey is determined to get the western mail in on time, and he doesn’t let a cow on the tracks, a damsel in distressed tied to the tracks by a mustachioed villain, dozens of train robbers, or even another train on the tracks stop him. This one gets points for sheer overkill.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
