Director : Jay Russell
Running Time : 96 mins
Looking back on his childhood, Willie Morris (Muniz) reflects on how his life had been changed before and after he received a pet dog named Skip during the 1940s. Prior to this his only friend was local sporting hero Dink Jenkins (Wilson), who has been sent off to fight in the war, and through the help of his loveable dog, Willie manages to befriend everyone in town.
Although not as funny as I expected, this is a likeable movie that uses the loveability of animals to tug at our heartstrings but, even though it is based on a true story, this is a little weak in actual story where it concerns the dog. This is really the story of a friendship between a young boy and a shell-shocked vet and how their friendship changed due to the horrors of war, cleverly disguised as a kid’s movie. Worth watching, but not the best animal related movie I’ve ever seen.
