La terre sacrée des bisons

It was a good attempt on Disney to showcase native Americans but it not only mixed up a lot of Northern tribe traditions but it also doesn't capture New Mexico at all. It was filmed in Utah and a lot of scenery wasn't right even the reserve is more based on Utah than New Mexico. Also, where are the Spanish and native New Mexicans? In the film it was mostly white people and only a few navajos. I really enjoyed the movie, but being a New Mexican I wished it represented my state better.

I am the husband of Elva Nava, who played the stunt double for Scout in this film. I was there, and saw her riding so close to the buffalo who were herded by a helicopter. This is something we will never forget. It was totally insane, the crew deserves a huge credit for ensuring my wife's safety and that of the other stunt doubles. These were real, live, wild, viciously angry, raging, multi thousand pound, snorting, killers ready to trample whatever gets in their way, i.e. people making a movie.

You can clearly see her face in the group shots of the bikers. Also you can see some great side shots that to me are clearly Elva. Anyway, she looked just like Scout on camera even though she was 21 years old at the time. I hope to get a chance to see her do some other stunt parts. She is a real tough Latina. I hope you like her work.

Thanks,

Though this film wasn't my favorite, it was above average. I am not a fan of Disney Channel movies because most of them are predictable and about the exact same thing. My favorite DCOM's are the Halloweentown Trilogy, Read it and Weep, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off, and Rip Girls. This film doesn't really get on my favorites because(no offense) it was kind of boring.

I liked the idea and the plot but I didn't get into it that much and it just wasn't really my cup of tea. It was a good try though. The originality was definitely there.

This movie could have been better but it was still a bit entertaining. A decent watch.

As a buffalo enthusiast, I was really excited when I saw the movie title when I was browsing for movies to watch. And it certainly did fulfill my buffalo dreams. I had such personal interest in this film that I decided to audition my own buffalo for roles in other low-budget western films. Sadly, they did not make the cut, but I am not bitter. In my opinion, these magnificent creatures were beautifully portrayed. As someone who owns several buffalo (including one domesticated buffalo), I found that the song "Lean On Me" does not help at all for herding purposes. Despite that disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and encourage other buffalo enthusiasts to have a look at this excellent film. Two hooves up!

A boy newly arrived in New Mexico starts working on a buffalo reserve to earn money to ride his bike. There, in addition to breaking cultural barriers to make friends with the residents of the reserve, he will have to face the local troublemaker in a mountain bike competition.

What a beautiful film, I love films with the culture of the North American natives, here we have the contrast of traditions versus the contemporary, but most importantly the appreciation, the local roots, the love for nature, beautiful images, legends told from parents to children, simple and engaging script, captivating characters, everything very cute...
