Russell H 09/20/2023 Depressing story of a dog sleeping on his master's grave. Cute dog, though See more isla s 09/03/2022 This is an interesting story. Living near to Edinburgh, I was aware of the rough story, having seen the statue of Bobby in the city and having walked through the kirkyard but I hadn't seen any film depicting the story, so this intrigued me. Its a good story - its very much a family friendly film and there's nothing wrong with that, though I did wonder how likely some of the language may have been in the scenes (no swearing present, of course). Its a heartwarming tale that I enjoyed. Of course its a bit sentimental but I wouldn't say its ruined by sentimentality. Its an easy and enjoyable watch and I have to say, the dog portraying Bobby is/was obviously well trained, to do what he does. A nice family friendly watch, I'd recommend this film to anyone interested, yes. See more 11/14/2021 A heartfelt movie about a dog who will not leave his late owners' grave. This premise drove the movie and most of the characters are forgettable. The acting is good, the dog did a wonderful job, but the plot seemed slow and bloated with extra tension. If you're a dog lover, I would recommend a viewing.

The legend of Greyfriars Bobby is one of the best examples of dogs's incredible loyalty and no visit to Edinburgh can be complete without a visit to Greyfriars Kirk, home to the famous dog and the beautiful Greyfriars Bobby Fountain. This heartfelt movie with a perfect balance between sweet and sad will surely move you to bits.

It's one of those wonderful Disney films about animals that Disney did so well, like Old Yeller and Savage Sam. Also much in the vein of Lassie Come Home, which also featured one of the best character actors the British isles ever produced--Donal Crisp! See more 11/22/2020 The great dog movie. I love the actors and actresses. The story is amazing and story taken place. A movie is about the dog name Bobby who was fighting for his freedom. See more Read all reviews
