Trivia
Despite the DVD cover prominently displaying a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pug, there are no dogs featured in this movie.

Goofs
In the sunrise scene, the sun is rising above the horizon and moving to the right. That can only happen in the northern hemisphere, and as the movie is in Nelson New Zealand, the sun would move to the left when rising.

There are no dogs in this film, but it's still fun!

There are no dogs in this film.

Not that are characters, anyway.

Nonetheless, it is a very sweet movie that would be absolutely perfect for a 9- and 6-year-old to watch for fun with their parents! It's overall message is a positive, uplifting one, and the New Zealand accents add some much-needed flavor for American audiences. As a family, we often look through Netflix for something to watch on a Saturday night, and at times the pickings are decidedly slim. This movie has some silly parts for the younger kids, an innocent grade-school romantic subplot and lots of soapbox derby cars. The New Zealand scenery is interesting for the parents. This is a good choice.
