Movie Connections:

Featured in Garfield (2004)

Beautiful Country good acting by the boy and by the dog.

There should be more of this kind of film. This is one that the family could watch and enjoy. I find the best movies need not to have all of the bad language to make them enjoyable. It may be that someday the film industry may get the message.
