a solid film based on a classic novel. like old yeller in its emphasis on a boy and his dogs, although this is better than old yeller and a bit more profound in its development of characters. i took it for granted as a kid but now realize its importance.
Gosh, what a tear-jerker of a movie! Kiddies be warned! It's a fun twin-dog movie for the most part, but I would recommend turning it off before the Red Fern starts growing.
Book is better, but we had to watch if for school and its a pretty good movie, mainly just b/c the story is so classic.
I remember watching this movie every time it came on when I was a kid...and cried every time!
Wilson Rawls:It's strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man's mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you've seen, or something you've heard, or the sight of an old familiar face
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Where the Red Fern Grows" !
