Dogs and sleds raced all over the place and all through the movie Iron Will. This movie was about a young man who teamed up with his late father’s lead dog to take part in a 500-mile dogsled race from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to St. Paul, Minnesota.
Over harsh winter terrain with no less harsh competitors and a finale which made me think, for a very brief moment, that the director was using the wrong script by mistake.
What’s so interesting about a cartoon that is more than fifty years old? That’s how old the movie Lady and The Tramp is. Old, yes. Outdated, never.
This is a great movie about a species that had been man’s constant, loyal companion for more than fifteen thousand years. And no, I am not talking about the little woman. Dogs and man have been friends for a long time. An old relationship, yes. An outdated relationship, never.

The motion picture Snow Dogs was about a Miami dentist who had much more success with pulling canines rather than canines pulling him.
All it took was a will to get Ted, the dentist, to fly to Alaska to find out that he was suddenly the owner of a team of unfriendly Huskies. And be told that the surest way of getting a hostile dog to submit to him was to bite it on the ear.

In That Darn Cat, the unintentional appearance of a feline passerby led the FBI (Federal Bureau of Incompetence?) on a merry chase round sundry backyards, carparks and even under the bed a few times before the villains were caught.
Maybe the villains gave up because they got tired of being upstaged by a cat. And, mind you, the cat was just passing by on his way to pick up his little tabby and kittens.

The movie The Aristocats began with just four cats and ended up with a whole lot more. All despite the efforts of the butler who wanted to remove the cats who preceded him in his employer’s will and ended up being totally removed himself.
Starting in Paris, this movie leads its viewers all over the country-side before getting back to the mansion where it all began. With an explosion in the local feline population.
