Charlie, The Lonesome Cougar

Ahhhh, looking on FaceBook this morning, one of my friends posted an image of a cougar. My mind immediately went back to my childhood and Disney to the movie, Charlie, The Lonesome Cougar. I have fond memories of that film, especially it's narrator Rex Allen. (Tangent: His son, Rex Allen, Jr., did the narration for the Jim Carrey film Me, Myself, and Irene - a fun, goofy film that sort of came and went.)

After doing a google search for Charlie, I discovered the poster for the film. I can't decide which I like better; the smile they put on the cougar, or their tagline for it "The fabulous tale of a teen-age mountain lion who thought he was just a four-footed human!" They're both great. Anyway, get the film for your kids, they should be entertained for about 3 minutes.








(SPOILER ALERT: Click the link below ONLY AFTER you listen to the song above, there's a great and horrible twist at the end that you'll never forget.)
As an added bonus to this entry you get to hear Rex Allen's 1962 smash hit, "Don't Go Near The Indians". Give it about 5 seconds to start and PLEASE listen to it all the way through.
