5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, February 26, 2009

This review is from: American Frontier Classics:: Where the Red Fern Grows (DVD)

This movie is a classic family movie. I loved both the book and movie as a kid and have loved sharing it with my kids. It also has great lessons, of integrity, hard work, dependence on God, love, death, how prayers are answered, etc. "If you want God's help, your gonna have to meet him half way." "I believe every boy ought to have to cut down a tree like this...At least once in his life."

Make sure to get the original movie with Stewart Peterson, the remake is awful.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic tale of a boy and his dogs, and still a tear jerker, March 19, 2009

By 

old school movie lover (dallas,tx) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Frontier Classics:: Where the Red Fern Grows (DVD)

I hadnt seen this film in years and happy to see that American Frontier classics re-released this along with other great frontier films. The story is a classic tale of a young boy, played by Stewart Peterson (very believable and holding his own against the dogs and the adults), who very much wants his own hunting dogs and works hard to earn them and travels a great distance to fetch them. The relationship between Peterson and the dogs is very real and touching. Though this was filmed in the the early 70's and takes place in the early part of the centery, this film stands the test of time and still brought a tear to this viewer's eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where the red fern grows, February 5, 2010

A Kid's Review

This review is from: American Frontier Classics:: Where the Red Fern Grows (DVD)

I saw Where the Red Fern Grows when I was eight and it was quickly my favorite movie.
The plot is Billy Coleman wants coon hounds very badly. His family is poor so he is not able to get them from his parents. So he saves his own money. Then he buys his hounds. The only reason he has the hounds is because of an add in a sportsman's magazine. Billy hunts with his coon hounds. His coon hounds are the two best coon hounds in the Ozarks. It tells about the up's and down's in his life with his dogs.
This film was great in the overall story of friendship.
The movie didn't have much special effects. The movie was AWESOME how it is.
This movie teaches you about love, friendship, and courage through a twelve year old boy's life. Billy never wants to let go of his dogs because he loves them. Billy and his dogs battled through the cold Ozark Mountains too.
