Li'l Genius

Li'l Genius heads to the bowling alley with his father, where the boy's enthusiastic—if accident-prone—approach to the sport creates all sorts of comic chaos. Between stuck fingers, flying balls, and narrow escapes, this 1957 romp proves that sometimes the best time you can have with your old man comes with a side of slapstick mayhem.

Beware of Dog
4 pp · humor; children
Li'l Genius

When Li'l Genius agrees to walk the neighbor's new dog, he quickly discovers the animal is far more spirited than advertised—and a lot harder to handle than a boy his size might expect. As the dog drags him through the neighborhood causing mayhem, Li'l Genius keeps insisting the beast is harmless, even spinning increasingly wild tales about what kind of dog it actually is. It's a comedy of chaos and stubborn confidence that perfectly captures a kid convinced he's got everything under control—right up until he doesn't.
