Audience Member If Disney made a film in South Africa, this is what it would be like. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Gorgeous animation....tear jerker, good story, nice different animation. Fantastic line-up of celebrities voicing the characters! Good to see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member True story of Africa. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I first watched this film in Zimbabwe when I was 8 years old...I was deeply moved by the experience - so much so that I named my own puppy 'Jock'. It follows the travels of a young man in search of his fortune, and 'Jock' - a dog he saves along the way. There are some intense scenes (despite its PG rating) where 'Jock' fights a Baboon. Children should watch this with their parents. I've have only watched this once as an adult and it still had a big affect on me...I supposed because it brings back strong memories from my childhood, and the dog I once had as a boy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite stories of all time! The Kruger National Park is my second home and Jock will always have a special place in my heart! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member You've got to be a Saffa to appreciate it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
