The most heartwarming family movie of the 90s.

Born To Be Wild is one of those animal family movies that stands with movies like Free Willy and Mighty Joe Young (the original before the 1998 remake). I first saw this movie when me and my family watched it on videocassette after its release in the same year and rewatched it on DVD back in 2009. And yet, this movie is heartwarming and tear-jerking at the same time. Plus Wil Horneff (the Sandlot, the Ghost in the Machine, the Yearling (1994)) does a brilliant job playing the role of Rick Heller and recieving a Young Artist Award as Best Film Leading Actor in a Feature Film.

If you Love this movie that you grew up in the 90s. This would make you laugh and cry and teach you about love and respect for animals of nature, plus this beloved family movie is filled with adventure for the entire family would enjoy.
