Admirable film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Just watched this educational short cartoon from Walt Disney Productions on YouTube as linked from Cartoon Brew. In this one, the narrator tells of the three sides of health represented by a triangle with the physical side at the bottom, the mental side on the left, and the social side-the subject of this film-on the right. There's a song about how we all need people that begins and ends this short that has some politically incorrect lyrics like how an Indian who makes beads needs tourists! Still, it makes its points effectively and entertainingly when it focuses on a couple of teens-one male and one female-and how different they looked in various eras with fashions and hair not to mention the emergence of certain clicks in separate circles. There's also some mention about how sex and drugs can be destructive-complete with some psychedelic imagery-so obviously this short isn't meant for small children. So on that note, I'd recommend The Social Side of Health as an interesting Disney curio.
