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.

Tim Robey

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

Ian Freer

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

Akos Peterbencze

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.

An excellent movie! True to the story. Amazing cinematography! I cannot understand for the life of me why this movie isn’t streaming anywhere or a DVD available, Especially on the hundredth anniversary of the serum run almost here!

This is an unreal movie based on real facts. Dafoe is fantastic as ever, but at some point he is replaced by a cartoon as are most of the dogs. But this doesn't bother me at all. What matters is the story, and what a great story it is!

70/100 - its a disney film so its going to be some cookie cutter generic family friendly sappy film. wimmiem dafoe is great, disney is atrocious and people shouldnt support them. its a 2 hour film but they could have done it in 1.5, a lot of nothing.

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.
