"The cat was uneasy.
He had a strange feeling he was being followed. There was
nothing in sight,
yet his sense told him there was something
there, something evil." -
Narrator
Why watch this? This
family action film is, well, incredible! All set in the American
wilderness.
Plot Summary:
Three family pets – a young Labrador Retriever, Luath, an older
Bull Terrier, Bodger, and a Siamese cat, Tao – are left with a
friend while their owners go on vacation. Missing their family,
the trio escape and embark on a long, challenging journey
through the Canadian wilderness to find their way home. Faced
with a vast and unfamiliar landscape, the animals must overcome
various perils and rely on each other to survive.

Dad's Preview:
In the 50's and 60's, Disney was second-to-none regarding films
featuring animals, such as
Old Yeller
(1957) and
Swiss
Family Robinson (1960). Here the excitement comes from
our heroic animals as they encounter an angry mother bear, a raging river, a porcupine,
and cold wintry conditions. Your heart-strings will be maxed out
as our traveling trio trudges on to get home.
Can they survive the journey? Will it be too much for that old
terrier? |
