Official sequel as spectacular and amusing as the original

The picture is the following-up , in fact starts with Jack(Ethan Hawke) writing a letter to his friend Harry(Scott Bairstow), the new starring. Thus begin the adventures of a boy and his adopted wolf-dog called White Fang for its white and sharp tooth . They survive a wild streams river because the canoe has sunk when are going to Dawson city . Then they meet a Haida Indian tribe where he knows an orphan Indian(Craig) whose parents have dead by white men ills. Then he helps to solve a caribou mystery but the tribe is starving and needs meat. He struggles against a malicious reverend(Alfred Molina) and a villainous(Geoffrey Lewis).

The film is loosely based on the novel by Jack London, though differs significantly from the book but this is an invented version, however remain the essential elements as young-dog friendship, the gold rush, spectacular outdoors and locations and several moving scenes. In addition there are a brief exploration about Native American way of life with their rites,customs,ceremonies,superstitions, mythologies and religion with their Totems and Gods. The film is set in Klondike -Yukon territory- on the end XIX century but was filmed in sensational scenarios and marvelous landscapes located in British Columbia and Colorado State. The movie is a feast for the eyes and ears that captures the adventures feeling as few others have ever done and similar to the original film. It's a correct sequel that maintains the charm and magic of the previous film but still makes for decent kiddies amusement. Evocative and stunning direction musical by John Debney(Sin City). The motion picture is told simply and eloquently narrated by the director Ken Olin(usually actor). This agreeable film is entertaining ,bemusing and wholesome. Rating : acceptable and passable.
