    Decent Lassie movie made for TV...

    This film rarely is shown, a made for TV movie that looks like it was meant to be a series, but did not get picked up by any network. If it comes on, one should try to catch it.

    It is totally enjoyable for any Lassie fan, an outdoors adventure with Lassie and two orphan children on a trek to locate their uncle, and stay ahead of the authorities. Although it is predictable, there are actually a few instances where events happen that are surprising. The Lassie used by the trainers of the original TV series Lassie is a descendant of the original, and looks and sounds just like what we would expect Lassie to be.

    This Is The Best Lassie Movie.

    The Last Time I Seen This Movie Was On Nick Several Years Ago And I Taped It. I Really Enjoy Watching Lassie A New Beginning. When The Kids, Sally And Her Little Brother Chip Goes Out By Themselves After Their Grandma Dies Trying To Reach Uncle Stuart They Go Through A Tough Time. The Dog Catcher Takes Lassie And Lassie Breaks Out And Wakes Sally Up Knocking On The Window. Sally Steps On Chip To Wake Him Up And The Kids With Lassie And Another Dog Takes Off. Many Things Goes On In This Movie I Can't Explain The Kids Wrecks Another Police Car, An Army Base Shoots At The Kids, And Chip Gets Bit By A Rattle Snake Sally Tries To Save Chips Life By Cutting His Leg And Getting The Poison Out. But Lassie Saves Their Life By Bringing Uncle Stuart To Them And Hope They Will Live Happy Ever After.

    I Don't Know If This Movie Will Air Again. To See It You May Want To Call, Or Email Any TV Networks And Request Lassie, A New Beginning. This Is A Good Family, Action Film, Everybody Will Enjoy.
