    • Goofs
      Near the beginning of the film, the family car is shown driving from Toronto supposedly to Nova Scotia. The SkyDome is shown in the background with the car clearly driving west on the Gardiner Expressway. You would drive east to Nova Scotia on that highway; there is no shortcut going west from there.

    Beautiful story + Dalton's very good performance.

    I have just finished watching the film and I must say that, though I wasn't too enthusiastic in the beginning, soon I found out that it really was worth the Children's Program Award (Director's Guild of America) it got. It's a great children show (both, Johnny Morina and Katherine Isobel play just wonderfully as for children), and thanks to smooth and enjoyable performance from Timothy Dalton (he should do more such films), it may also interest adults. The frame of the plot is very well known, but it doesn't matter as much as the beautiful story of a friendship between the nature and the humans. Good cinematography and a very engaging finale of the story. Great film for a whole family, for one of those Sunday mornings. No violence, no sex, no bad language - just a nice and interesting story.
