I love this movie. The puppy is so cute. I got lucky and just happened upon it late at night on cable. I've set my DVR to record so I can play it for my friend's granddaughter next time she comes over. I've played all the air bud and buddies movies for her and she loves them. I can't wait to watch this one with her. I can't believe I never knew about this movie it's just so cute! I think it was very well done for a children's movie and one that adults will enjoy too. I wish I could see the original version with the Aussie accents, some reviewers say it was better. I don't see why they have to dub something over just cause the accent is different. I think you lose something when you dub over the original work. I've watched movies in there original form with English subtitles, and the same movies dubbed in English and always preferred seeings movies in their original form.

I really loved this movie, it is truly delightful for animal lovers. I know that the cat's motives for picking on Napoleon was a tad unrealistic, but I am past caring really since the film is lovely to watch and very cute. One definite plus is the Australian scenery, it is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly captured with the fluid cinematography. The Sydney Opera House especially is a delight to see. Also the soundtrack is lovely, I loved all the songs and the score is beautiful. Napoleon himself is adorable, yet for such a small puppy he is very intelligent as well. His adventures in the Outback are eccentric and engaging, whether it is with the scary cat(creepily voiced by Carole Skinner), hilarious Birdo or Joan River's benevolent mother kangaroo. This film is always cute, but it is never tacky, and as family entertainment it is nice harmless fun and very underrated. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Sometimes serendipity, dumb luck, and channel-surfing really pays off. That's how we found this terrific treat. Look -- in your cable listings or in your video store -- for this Australian-made movie feature. Total delight -- and you can watch it with your mom, your grandmom, your mom-in-law, even your kids in the same room -- or all by yourself if your macho attitudes requires. [Remember "Paulie"? That's right in this category.] But there's none of the "Old Yeller" boo-hoo stuff, so you-and-they'll be okay and sinus-dry when it's over. It's about a city-bred puppy who just knows he has to connect with his wild cousins, the dingoes. So off he goes -- in a balloon-powered basket (okay, we'll admit we worried about the pup up there in midair, especially when the basket was snared by a pointy-nosed commuter train -- but why give away the good stuff?). The photography is gorgeous, but the animal shots (birds, lizards, turtles, dingoes, etc.) are nothing short of incredible!! "Stunning!!" works, too. No people at all to get in the way, either. Try it. If you don't like it, then you'll just have to wait until the movie version of "Hannibal (the Lecter)" arrives.
