For some reason teachers loved showing this movie to us in elementary school. Very sad but decent movie.

Such a great movie. The age of the film does not take away from the experience.

What is it with teachers and showing us this film? Do they want to emotionally scar us that early?

A heartfelt, beautifully crafted tale of friendship and loyalty. An emotional and timeless classic.

Some nights you just want to watch a sad dog movie that you know will make you cry

It's a plot less tearjerker at points but the rest is highly unmemorable
