This movie is great!, 6 September 2003
10/10
Author: Woodland_Realm_Dweller from Minnesota, United States

I have loved this movie since childhood. I have never seen the Japanese version, though I hear it is better. This is a movie about an orange tabby tom cat named Milo and a cream and black Pug named Otis. They grow up together, and while playing one day Milo gets swept away by the river. This is the story of their separate journeys to find each other, and the way home. I really enjoyed this movie, and would recommend it for the young and young at heart. This is a good kids movie because there is no violence, no five minute long makeout sessions, just good clean fun about two animal best friends and their adventures.
