 A Beautiful Story April 6, 2008
I've seen this movie at least a half dozen times and love it every time. I never read the book, so I can't make a comparison but in the movie, I love the evolvution of the character of Willie throughout the story.
Besides being a heartwarming animal flick, it is a wonderful story about community.

Warning if you are sensitive this may not be the movie for you. It is about a boy named Little Willy whoes Grandpa gets sick and Little Willy has to take care of him. Then Little Willy enters his dog Morgan in a dog sled race, for much needed money. But he will have to compete against the unstopable Stone Fox. ( This is the time to bring out the tissues) poor Morgans heart gives way. Then Stone Fox says anyone cross this line and i'll shoot. Then Little Willy carrys Morgan across the finish line. This may be a tear jerker it is a REALLY good movie!
 worst adaptation ever February 11, 2005

This movie adaptation is awful. If you are familiar with the book you will need some antacid after seeing what they've done with the movie. Instead of a potato farm in crisis they change it to a cattle ranch. Instead of Grandpa's illness due to money worries they call it a stroke. Instead of a cranky old woman doctor they make her young and pretty. They add school chums and a pretty little girl love interest. They even change the poor dog's name. Little willy is portrayed as a whiny brat. Oh, No! the people who made this movie had no respect for the beauty of the simple book. Don't waste your money on this hideously expensive and poorly done adaptation.
Well done! An interesting adaptation of an excellent book March 6, 2003

Although some major items were changed in the script from the book, my fourth graders loved seeing this movie as a culminating activity. Makes for a great comparison from book to movie. A tear jerker as well.
