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
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.
