    I enjoyed this. <em>'Candleshoe'</em> starts in a greater manner than it finishes, but the full duration is entertaining. The early scenes are, for this era of Disney live-action at least, actually quite unusual, I wasn't fully sure where the story was going at first - which is a positive. Once everything becomes clearer, it does lose the slight edge it has at the beginning. The cast, meanwhile, are very good. Jodie Foster (Casey) gives another strong performance from her early years, while David Niven is excellent as Priory. Leo McKern is also splendid in his role as Harry. They all work...
