Kathy F I watched this with my daughter back in ‘97-loved it-bought it, but the music is tedious. The scene with the wolves is too frightening for little kids. The scenery: amazing The story: a bit trite. The characters: great, especially Silas’s through the mud scene. My dog, Phoebe likes it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Steve D It has been done to death and done better, Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Rosana B Fofinho e apaixonante como s filmes sobre cachorrinhos devem ser, especialmente saudosista, pelos amantes dos anos 90... Depois daquele acidente de barco no início imaginei que viria um drama, mas não, continuou a percorrer o caminho da fofura e delicadeza, e amor sincero entre crianças e animais, tudo muito bem temperadinho com aquela dose de aventura que as crianças amam... Pera, recalculando rota, que filminho dramaticozinho do menino e seu melhor amigo sobre sobrevivendo na floresta 2 sem... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/22 Full Review robert p Oh what a great family movie, I am a sucker for any dog that can act!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This family drama was pretty good. Jesse Bradford, Mimi Rogers, Bruce Davison, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot to the movie was adventurous, dramatic, and heartfelt. It's about finding your way home and doing what you can to survive. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you may enjoy it. It's not as good as I thought it would be, but it wasn't a terrible movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Love Yellow, but my god, he needs to go find a new family. Pretty much abandoned and left to die but miraculously finds his way home, while his family never really shed a single tear or bothered to even attempt to go back and find him. Pissed me off more than anything. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
