Goofs

A young, small and scrawny raccoon waits on the riverbank for Milo to catch a fish with his tail. When Milo catches the fish and drags it ashore, the raccoon is suddenly a full-sized adult, clearly twice the size of the raccoon in the previous shot. See more »

Quotes

Narrator: The noise upstairs didn't disturb the dogs that slept in the barn. They could sleep through anything. But a lot of the other animals were awakened by all the scurrying overhead. Some of them just accepted it... some were pretty annoyed... and a few quietly plotted revenge.

cute, clever movie
18 June 1999 | by (boston, MA) – See all my reviews

this movie is excellent, kids love it and it's fun for adults, too. the animals are adorable, and the narrator is perfect. i love the complete absence of humans throughout the movie. far preferable to other animal movies in which the animals talk (which is just an cheap way of getting around the communication problem in animal movies). instead of a slap-dash disney-type production, this is more like a storybook that someone has really taken the time to bring to life.
