      michele a My 2nd favorite Lassie (Laddie) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dustin d Son of Lassie is a war-time Lassie cinematic universe film. Lassie's son, Laddie, and his human, Joe, must traverse Nazi-occupied Norway to return to Joe's RAF base. The production value is crappy in some scenes, but some set-pieces are quite daring, particularly the one involving Joe and Laddie swimming through rapids during their escape--something that wouldn't be allowed to be filmed today because of animal rights activists (who make a good point animals shouldn't be subjected to danger for human entertainment), and would likely be made with shoddy, boring CGI. Son of Lassie is shallow in characterization and themes, but it is a crowd-pleaser for anyone who loves both Lassie and watching Nazis get killed (pretty much everyone). Fun for the whole family. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Son of Lassie 1945 Lassie and Lady Son of Lassie Lady go recruited to military army dog training. MP'S Find son of lassie Lady afraid of guns and not jumping over fens but crawl under it. Lady snuck onto British reconicissence plan to take low hight photos of Norway during World War II. The plan gets shot down and Lady with owner. The air raid sequence looked impressive with all the explosions and destruction. The landscapes or mountains and snow of Norway looked amazing. Nazis use Grande on log cabin so it will not be used to hide allies. Have Lady encounter POW camp where a blind man ask to use Lady for a Seen Eye dog. Workers are around digging and putting sand bags for barricades Dog found owner but Nazis located British pilot Dog can't even fetch a stick. Nazi sergeant insults British pilot Lady came home with owner. Nothing about the ending came as a surprise because it was expected. The body of the film and journey was the best part of the film. Lassie was insured for a million dollars while head star was insured for less. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple 'Lassie-esqued' film that tugs at the heart strings well and focuses on devil-may-care though unaware and friendly Laddie very well as the movie is set during the Second World War. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Still strong family fare, via MGM, with the great Lassie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice Lassie story during the WWII and the heroism the son of Lassie (Laddie) goes through to save his master.
