Eight Below (2006)
8/10
What a surprise!

Wow. When I first heard of a Disney movie with dogs and Paul Walker, I thought, wow, they really must be running out of material. By taking an action 'star', I use the word star very loosely, I thought it was going to gonna be another "Pacifier". Then I heard Jason Biggs was in it, so then I thought, wow (again), this is the end of Jason Biggs. After a while I forgot about 8 Below and just put in the back of my mind with Snow Dogs, as just dogs in the snow movies.

Then a week ago, I was on an airplane and the airline was showing it. So it was a long flight, so I thought, "why not?".

I have not been that surprised in a long time. I would not call it great, but defiantly a good to see, no matter how old you are. (I am 17).

Frank Marshall, along with a pretty decent script, which was surprisingly not corny, directed this film wonderfully. The mild humor mixed in with surprisingly good acting from Biggs and Walker made this film worth a watch. The scenes when the dogs were in the wild were shot beautifully, and actually very interesting, and yes, touching. The dogs were obviously trained pretty well, which showed that Disney cared enough to make it the best it could be.

For anyone that is doubting this movie, please, give it a chance. Do not be like me. Sit down for about 2 hours and enjoy this heartwarming(Not cheesy) tale of survival and friendship. Well acted by all, people and dogs alike.
