Jessica L Such an adorable movie! My favourite actor is the cute policeman who stops the child getting up during the court scene 🥰 Big fan of the entire film, went on a tour showing me all the filming locations in Stirling, was so fun! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Audience Member A charming little family movie which will touch many people's hearts. But for me the episodic nature of it causes it to lack flow which in turn lets it down. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member wow.....wow....wow....just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is an alright movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actresses throughout this movie.....I think that james cosmo, oliver golding, gina McKee, sean pertwee, chris lee, play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....I think that the director of this kids/family/drama movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie.....I think that this is such a really powerful drama movie 2 watch, its got a good cast throughout this movie...... The original Greyfriars Bobby, in the book by Eleanor Atkinson, is actually a Skye Terrier. The appearance of a Westie in the title role of the film caused protests from the Skye Terrier breed club, who complained about filmmakers using an incorrect dog breed. Christopher Figg, the producer, said that a Westie was used "because its white coat would stand out in the dark and because its eyes would not be hidden from the camera by a fringe." During the early stages of planning for this film in 2003, Scottish Screen, the national development agency for the Scottish screen industries, had run a lottery worth £500,000, but withdrew the funding for the film, and it was almost made in Luxembourg instead of Scotland. While Bakehouse Close, off the Royal Mile, was used for the exterior shots of John Gray's family home, the Edinburgh Castle scenes in this film were actually shot in Stirling Castle. There was much filming in and around the old town of Stirling as well as within the grounds of Stirling Castle doubling for old Edinburgh and Greyfriars Kirk Yard as seen in the film is in fact Stirling's Old Town Cemetery with the Church of The Holy Rude in the background. its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie......I think that this is such an enjoyable childrens movie 2 watch, it is such a really really powerful drama movie 2 watch, it is quite a sad movie in some scenes.......I think that this is such a really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie......I think that this is such a really sweet childrens movie 2 watch, I think that this is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch, with a good cast throughout this movie...... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member As an afficionado of West Highland White Terriers myself, 'Greyfriars Bobby' - in its original UK release, it's also known as 'The Adventures Of Greyfriars Bobby' - tells the true story of a little dog that refused to leave his owner's graveside in Edinburgh. And despite the passing of a new dog law, Bobby struggles for his protection under his friend Ewan. How cute... Just wish I can watch this film title again so I can get my own furry Westie. :-) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member On All The Promotional Stuff For The Movie, It's Known As 'The Adventures Of Greyfriars Bobby', Whilst In The Actual Film, It's Just Called 'Greyfriars Bobby'. The Same Thing Happened To Tron Legacy/Tron. People Don't Like How Bobby's A Westie, When He Was Originally A Skye Terrier. I Don't Mind This Mix Up, As I Have A Westie. There Are Some Sad Moments In This Film, Such As A Part Where Bobby Gets Stabbed, And When Ewan's Forced To Work In A Factory, Cuz' His Mum Died. This Is A Charming Little Family Film, Based On A True Story, And Also Featuring Christopher Lee! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh I'm a sucker for dog movies. And this one is fantastic. Also because it's based on a real story, so very touching. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
