"Togo" is the true story set in the winter of 1925 of champion dogsled trainer Leonhard Seppala and his lead sled dog, Togo. Together, they embark on an adventure across the treacherous terrain of Alaska to transport medicine to a small town.

Critics Consensus

An endearing and exciting underdog story that benefits greatly from its stars (canine and human alike), Togo is a timeless tale, well-told.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Even fans of Dafoe's ever-more-Hemingway-esque career trajectory will find a lot to relish.

Danny Leigh

Financial Times

The film's particular breed of old-school Disneyosity - a sweetly earnest, action-filled tale of the bond between man and beast - feels like an ideal tonic.

Rated: 4/5

Empire Magazine

Togo is in a slightly more sombre register than Call Of The Wild but delivers similar sturdy pleasures; exciting dog-in-peril action and striking landscapes, all anchored by Dafoe's grounded performance.

Rated: 3/5

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Togo, as a movie, is adventurous but riskless, heart-warming but shallow, and works and it doesn’t.

Ready Steady Cut

Disney goes back to the well like no other with a throwback to films like White Fang, Balto, and Iron Will with a big family adventure film that swells with heart and builds genuine suspense.

A heartwarming treat featuring young animal stars on cuteness overload. As Togo matures, he becomes adored by human star, Defoe, as well as the audience, awesome in his abilities, and unforgettable in his achievements.

A Disney+ film based on a true story of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska. Willem Dafoe stars as Leonhard Seppala, a musher, with his lead dog Togo. Given the nature of the true story, there are only a few opportunities for Dafoe to show off his acting abilities in a scene with another actor. He does make the most of those scenes. There are many beautiful Alaskan backdrop scenes supporting this “man and his dog” story. This movie does run slow and got boring for me in spots. I’d recommend this film if you enjoy Willem Dafoe as an actor or you’re a dog person.
