ID 80's movie about an overworked office clerk
September 15, 2023 11:26 AM Subscribe
As a kid I had a VCR copy of the Disney film Robin Hood. After the movie there was a trailer for a live motion picture that I don't know the name of.
All I remember is an office clerk having problems with the printer or copy machine going out of control, it was shooting out paper like there's no tomorrow. Later on he goes on ski holiday, going down the ski slope in full speed without being able to stop. Since it was on a VCR with a Disney movie it might be possible that it's a movie from Buena Vista, but not necesseraly. The movie is probably from the 80's or possibly late 70's.

Best answer: Sounds like that to me, too. It's Disney and the time period is right.
I found a TV promo, but that's not an actual trailer.
I also found the skiing scene, which sounds like what you're talking about.
Maybe these will ring a bell.

Best answer: I think this is what you're looking for, and it seems to be Snowball Express.

Response by poster: Unmarked all replies since you answered pretty much all at the same time. Thank you so much! I never thought I'd find what movie it was!

"What it lacks in wit it has in wholesome, hearty chuckles" says a review cited on wikipedia.

Absolutely not helpful now your qsn has ben solved but I also watched Robin Hood Disney Version but it was recorded on a VHS which already had a recording on it that Robin Hood was recorded over so just after the end of Robin Hood, an episode of Gummy Bears started mid episode, I can't unlock the two in my mind
