Will. That's all it takes.
26 September 2001 | by (Newfoundland) – See all my reviews

A definate family movie for the young and old. This tale will break your heart, fill you with hope and keep your eyes glued to the screen... even if you watch it at 3 in the morning... like I did.

The movies plot was fascinating and very well developed. I did find however that the opening half hour wen't by very quickly. On the other hand, I was able to grasp the story. I guess that's all that matters. The heart pounding action and suspense that is created in the actual race is brilliant. My hats off to Disney once again... and also the the wonderful cast that gave so much to a wonderful story.
