Hi Cas
Thanks for the review. This film epitomises the content issue we have due to the pandemic.
To be honest I would more likely give this a wide berth due to the subject matter and it being direct to a streaming service. Your review saves me the time of watching something that isn't an improvement on previous versions of the story and highlights why I probably will not be renewing my Disney sub.
Your comment on this being straight to TV in the past is spot on, only now it is on TV (albeit slightly different way) but we have to pay for the privilege.
Here's to the current situation comes to an end soon and the studios can get back to better fare.
As you say, always would be a tough book to turn into a Movie, same as White Fang. Well, kids will enjoy it.
I guess next is another go at The Incredible Journey (1963 Version)
