In many ways, THOSE CALLOWAYS is a subversion of your typical Disney movie. Rather than a dead mother, Lydia Calloway may be one of the best and strongest mother/wife figures we've seen. Rather than a happy family singing and dancing together, the Calloways have real issues with anger, alcohol and finances. Sadly, in other ways it's all too typical of Disney, especially when it comes to the studio's proclivity towards casual animal abuse. And there's the whole thing with Bucky Calloway turning from a sweet, if rather clueless boy into a raging, toxic male. And, craziest of all, their inexplicable love for God's worst creation. It's a mixed bag, is what we're saying.
