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.

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.
