usually when you have fond memories of some childhood film you saw when you were young, they usually turn out to be quite awful or trite or just plain dumb upon second viewing as an adult. But I rented this for my 5 year old who loves animals and we both enjoyed it. I had wonderful memories of seeing this when I was nine and it really is a terrific rental to seek out. In fact, my 5 year old was so intriguedby Mij and the other otters, she promptly went to the library and got a book by the original author of Ring Of Bright Water - Gavin Maxwell called an Otter's Tail.
