Today we are covering Skippy, which was adapted from a hugely popular comic strip. This is our first "kids' movie," and features Jackie Cooper in the title role. His performance in this film (at nine years old) garnered him a nomination for Best Actor. What might seem like a frivolous premise actually carries some significant emotional weight.
Unexpected connections we make during our examination of this Outstanding Production nominee:
- Sir Lawrence Olivier
- Treasure Island
- Superman
- Batman
- Star Trek
- women in baseball
- songs referencing drug use/addiction
But the most important question we explore is...Does Skippy deserve to be on THE LIST?
