Don’t show this to 5th graders and expect them to get anything educational from it. Sad but good classic, watch at least one in your life.

A classic dog film based on the book. It goes how you’d expect but has the nostalgia factor that makes it always a good watch

Sean Culbertson

A heartfelt story about a dog and his owner. Loved it as a child and was just as good on the rewatch. Very nostalgic!

It’s ok nothing special just a family and it’s dog.

Didnt realize it was yellow in their old timey country accent

Great classic movie about a boy age his dog but not recommended for children. Unfortunately that's when I saw it. Was not emotionally ready

Watched in 5th grade with my class and it had the whole classroom crying by the end.

I do need to see it again but not really a huge fan of “boy loves his animal” movies

Too sad! I remember crying at this when I saw it as a kid. Great acting though

Got a bit bittersweet at the end, but still a great movie.

Harry and the Hendersons

Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.
