Product: Lassie: A Christmas Tale
Rating: 5.0
The most beautiful Lassie film ever made!
I was a fan of the Lassie series as a small child and tried watching some of the movies as an adult as I love the collie breed. The movies always satisfied my desire to watch this beautiful breed on the big screen, but the acting always seemed a bit "hokey."When I watched the 2005 release of Lassie, I was in love. The score is suberb, the filming sublime and the acting world class. Another reviewer called the dog playing Lassie an "imposter", but if you give this film a chance, you will find those soulful eyes will draw you in. The dog playing Lassie is an American bred farm dog and is gorgeous! The trainers on the film did a wonderful job putting the animals through their paces. This is my favorite animal film EVER! Give it a try, you may put it in your Christmas rotation!
