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...

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.

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.
