This was a great movie when I first saw it and it continues to be even now! A story of unlikely friends and the issues that they had in their friendships. If you are a dog lover or a lover of animals all-together this movie will warm your heart. I shared these movies with my daughters and they loved them as well . Being fans of Disney, usually they like all Disney Movies, but you never know until you actually see the movie itself.
One of the things that I liked best about this movie was that it pulls the kids in and does not talk over them. Too often these days some of the animated shows and movies are written more for adults than for kids. This movie still allow s kids to understand while bringing forth some important messages about life and friendships
If you have never seen this movie take a look at the press release below for more information on the movie itself!

, the very first animated feature, then went on to create timeless classics such asCinderella
,Bambi and Lady and the Tramp
. These iconic figures passed the torch to a new generation of animators including Ron Clements (Animated Screenplay/Story Artist on The Princess and the Frog
, Aladdin
, The Little Mermaid
) Glen Keane (Animation Supervisor/Directing Animator on Tangled
, Beauty and the Beast
, Little Mermaid) and John Musker (Animation Supervisor/Directing Animator on Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid), who would lead Disney animation’s renaissance in the1980’s with new landmark animated films such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
