White Fang

I really enjoy classily animated films, and I really enjoyed this title. There were just things about the animation, music and even the voice acting and songs that made me fall in love with this film. There's just something I really love about these kinds of slightly obscure, non Disney, classily animated, straight to video films. Yes, the voice acting's not perfect and the animation visuals aren't exactly groundbreaking, but the film has a lot of heart and soul to it. I've only seen this film a few times on a VSH that I rented from my local library, sadly for me that VHS is no longer there today. I've looked and looked for a copy of it online, and, alas, not found it. Its just unfortunate really, I guess, that this film has stayed in my mind for so long, yet barley no one has actually seen it.

If you'd like to see the movie of the much-adored book then do not waste your money on this one. The Walt Disney version is well worth investing in. This obviously had a very cheap budget. The animation is poor, voice actors bad and the singing is almost painful.

The backgrounds were very skillful and detailed but were destroyed by the badly drawn characters. The movie sticks to the plot but has simplified it for children. I purchased it for a small price and since I'm a great fan of dogs and wolves anyway, I've decided to keep it. But I'm now commenting to warn you of it. It's not as the cover describes.

The songs are of poor quality. I must say, the worst was probably Beauty Smith's. The ending is satisfactory but does not end as the book does which was disappointing. Although Disney's White Fang does differ from the book it is much better quality than this one by far.
