A welcome relief from Ninjas and Hip Wisecrackers
I bought this for my niece and nephew, partly because it's so old I knew that wouldn't own it already. But upon re-watching it, I was struck by how gentle it seemed compared to most of what they see. The story is well paced, but not frantically so. And how many kids these days are familiar with old school farm life and animals?A wonderful live-action movie for the whole family. No gratuitous violence, no wisecracking animated characters making"hip" pop culture references or winks at other movies. Farm animals with distinct personalities and voices that convey character and intelligence. Full of comedy and drama. Great life lessons and a triumphant ending. One scary dog fight and a near escape from death from the title character, but compared to the violence of video games and other movies, I think kids can handle it.
