A great reference for animal movies that are available.... well written and well set out.
I have been a fan of Ms Wilsons writing for some years now and this one certainly hasnt dissapointed me! Well done!!

Not just for those who love animals and film. Ms. Wilson's Animal Movie Guide will take you back joyfully through memories of the films that you loved as a child and as an adult. This book has them all, from the frightening, to the whimsical, to the tearjerker. Her prose is airy, candid, and very funny, but most of all it is poignant for those who truly appreciate the magic in the human/animal bond. A definitive work told with a truly professional and loving perspective. Ms. Wilson enjoys what she does immensely, and it shines through in her work, giving praise and dignity to the long overlooked actors -- the animals themselves.

Chock full of actor's commentary, trivia, and her own personal reflections.

This book is a very comprehensive guide to all of your favorite animal movies. Every wonder about those cute ferrets in The Beast Master? There is a great discussion with Don Corsaceli about working with the little guys - also the horrific story of how one of the tigers used in the film was accidentally killed! Sad, poignant, funny, and entertaining, The Animal Movies Guide has interviews with directors, casts and crews from a diverse selection of movies. Recommended!

I grew up on Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Toto, Flipper...well, you get the idea. And so does Wilson. Guaranteed to bring back rosy memories.

this is a book that any animal and movie lover should own. it makes a great gift, too.

full of informative, intelligent and ah so witty info.
love, love, loved it...
