  • Brian Costello, Common Sense Media

    Old Yeller sequel with Native American stereotypes.

  • Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com

    Still packed with that patented Disney Nature Quaintness, Sam isn't a terrible follow-up, but it lacks the spine that the grown-ups brought to the first film.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    As for the sequel, Savage Sam, well, perhaps the less said, the better. (Disney 2-Movie Collection)
