Grampa reads "Call of the wild" to his granddaughter as their own version unfolds after a wolf/dog comes to the house in the woods of Montana wounded and needing help. The dog slowly heals and soon is involved in a sled race that will determine if he gets to stay with those who love and treat him kindly, or those who will use and mistreat him. It is a gentle depiction of the bad that is in our world. One I think even very young children could deal with.
The snow covered scenery is breathtaking and the thrill of watching the dogs run is exciting.
Grampa's cabin is absolutely gorgeous. If you love log buildings pause at the places that offer a good view. It's fantastic. It gave me goosebumps to see it.
The kids do a credible job and not once did I get the feeling they were "acting".
This was a great movie, it's rated PG for a few "scary" moments but I think kids should be able to watch with mom and dad.
Wes Studi does a great job of being the mysterious man on the mountain, at first intimidating then later helpful. Chris Lloyd plays a gentle and loving grampa.
It was heartwarming and I was sad when it was over. But I'm an old sentimental grampa myself.
I rated it 8 for the lessons it taught and the interaction between the characters.
