Excellent movie for children, 13 September 2004
10/10
Author: gretchen325 from Ohio

Growing up, this was one of my favorite movies. Maybe it's not so entertaining for adults, as one narrator does the entire flick... but it has great moral lessons for children. The importance of friendship, the circle of life, etc. are addressed in this movie in a way that children can understand. The animals are adorable and there are plenty of them to go around... we all know how much kids love kittens and puppies. It's not flashy and it doesn't use gross out humor, but call me crazy I'd prefer my kids watch this than some of the other kids' movies out there today. All in all, I'd recommend this to parents everywhere as a "safe" film to watch and good for the whole family to discuss.
