It was pleasant to find that this Disney film has very few offensive elements and favorably portrays the old fashioned values of life in the early West. Although sometimes presented in a comical manner, Daniel and his cohorts live by the “Code of West” which calls for respecting the land and defending the defenseless. Further, Daniel has a good relationship with his parents and they share a strong love and loyalty. All the action in the film involves hand fighting along with gun, knife and shooting threats, but these are not excessive or bloody. Only two or three rough slang words are included, mainly for comic effect, as well as two mildly suggestive comical remarks. But the film contains no sexual content or nudity. The mythical characters risk their lives to help Daniel fight Stiles, who has no scruples and mistreats his laborers. Stiles is definitely ruthless, but one of his statements implies that anyone who tries to make a profit is evil. This misleading generalization is unfortunate. TALL TALE has its flaws, but overall is family friendly with many positive features.
