    extremely well made film

    This was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The plot line was well defined, and there were enough interactions in the film to capture the viewers attention. It is hard to imagine anyone seeing this movie without being strongly impacted by it. I have also been looking for this film, but have been unable to find it...I'd LOVE to see it again. (This is a very good film for the whole family, and is one of those that will impact a viewer even if this is not the genre that they normally enjoy.)

    This one will stick with you for life.

    I was a child when I saw this movie - and the impression it made was HUGE. It always stuns me that it is not widely available.

    It is a little odd to rate the movie, since I have not seen it in at least 30 years...but it must have been something to stick with me this long. It also has a nice theme song - very catchy and moving.

    This is an excellent movie for children in grade school, and has, as best I recall, a reasonable conservation message. For any child with an interest in animals, especially wolves, this might be a good choice. As with all movies there is some "natural process" in this, so preview if you are concerned.

    I saw a lot of "people-and-animals-meet-and-bond" movies of the era, but none stuck with me like this one.

    Wonderful movie

    This movie didn't receive the publicity that big name movies receive, but it was a very good movie. It has some fantastic scenery and a good adventure plot line. The nature photography is top notch, and if the movie ever becomes available, I'd recommend anyone to go see it.

    This is one movie that should be put on DVD. I suspect that there are a large number of people who would greatly enjoy it, especially families. But the adventure is grasping regardless of how old a person is, so it is great for people of all ages. In some ways, it is similar to "The Bear" in that there isn't a great amount of script. It honestly isn't needed. If anyone has the opportunity to see this movie, go for it!

    I love this film

    A story about an old man who rescues five wolf cubs from their den, when he finds that their mother wolf has been shot and killed by hunters in an aeroplane. I must have only been about 7 or 8 years old, the first time I watched this film, we had a recorded copy of this film from the TV, but I don't know whatever happened to it. This film was amazing and I would love to be able to buy it on DVD. Remember the raccoon family trying to cross the river? or the four wolf cubs learning to catch fish? This film will make you laugh and cry, especially at the end when the four wolf cubs come back to rescue the old man from a grizzly bear. This is without a doubt, a totally wonderful film!

    Inspirational film

    This film set the tone for philosophy and outlook for many of the generation that saw this film. Very inspirational. A movie I'll never forget. If you're looking for a "fluff" movie, or a "no-brainer", this is not the movie for you on this day. However, if you are looking for a movie that will inspire you to think, look at the universe in a different way, and stretch your spirit, this one is definitely right up there.

    The music sets your spirit soaring, and the theme song has stayed with me for over 30 years now. On the days I'm feeling seriously tied down or bogged down, I think of this song and I remember to take some time to re-connect with that part of myself.

    I would love to see this movie come to DVD or VHS.
