songfive This is an excellent movie for adults and children. It is about real life, which children need to see now more than ever. Preventing children from learning what nature does - is a disservice to say the least. Without real world knowledge, children grow up with a backwards mind, thinking the world owes them a living, everything can be a utopia, nothing can ever die, mankind is responsible for everything bad, big government is best, on and on foolishness like that. This movie just shows how nature is more powerful and mighty than man can ever be. Man is not the enemy here. As some would have you think. So don't be brainwashed like the left. People need to return to common sense and logic of years ago. Stories like Old Yeller and such teach children correctly. So throw away modern books and movies that lie constantly to your kids. Buy old movies and books for real life accuracy. And monitor what your kids are taught by the public schools. Many of them if not all are indoctrinating your beloved kids into mindless puppets of the government. Stay away from Scholastic publishing too. Over the years they have also been hijacked by the sick ideologues of progressive liberals. This is a great movie for all. Beautiful music that will give you more compassion in your heart than you would ever need. A loving picture with substance that touches your very soul. Conservatives will love this movie the most, because of their good hearts. Just make sure you bring tissues.
greenlee91 I remember watching this semi documentary as a kid and being drawn into the world of Flep, his mate Layla, and their kits who had names such as Serica, Roosum, Nuphrey, etc. Some of their kits make it while others don't. The saddest was the blind little kit who got taken away by the breakers while he was sitting on the beach, oblivious to the danger before him. While I won't spoil the ending, please bring a box of Kleenex.Besides the storyline, there are memorable, moving songs and a wise old tree who tells the story. I can still recall some of those songs all these years later.Hopefully it will be shown again for a newer generation to enjoy.
big200080 I have been looking for this movie for so many years. I saw this move when I was nine and loved this movie. I called Disney all the movie stores and the net. No luck. What a waste it was a very good movie. It will be missed:(
dugank I saw this movie a long time ago. It is such a sweet movie. I wish somebody would release it on video because I would love to see it again. It is one of the best nature shows I have ever seen. The way the relationships between the foxes are depicted is so sweet, and the scenery is gorgeous.
