I vaguely remember reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" in elementary and I thought I'd watch the movie as a refresher. It is a virtuous movie about a boy named Billy and his love for his raccoon hunting dogs that he worked so hard to purchase.
It was an adorable movie if nothing else. Not terribly memorable and not terribly dramatic. Safe and adorable.
