    Edit
    • Trivia
      Quebec-born Émile Genest did not dub himself in the French version. It was done by a French actor in SPS studios, Paris, France.
    • Goofs
      While Bodger the Bull Terrier is referred to as a male, the dog playing the part is obviously a female.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: As he went deeper and deeper into the forest, the cat began to get uneasy. He had a strange feeling he was being followed. There was nothing in sight, yet his sense told him there was something back there, something evil.

    Amazing Animal Adventure
    I can't get over how AWESOME the animals are who had the three main roles in this movie!!! As a matter of fact, the animals in the story made the human actors really hard to watch. I've been a big lover of this story since I read the book by Sheila Burnford and saw this 1963 film. The new film with the voices of actors sucks by comparison. Miss it and catch this classic. My favorite character is Tao-Cat of course, because he has all the best stunts in the movie. Just watch the scenes with the bear and the lynx and the rushing river!!! The interaction between Bodger, Luath and Tao is beautiful to watch as they protect and encourage each other en route across the beautiful rugged terrain of Ontario, Canada to find their family. I'm not a big advocate of family and G rated films, but some are just too good to pass up!!!
