5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to eat, you'll work, March 16, 2008

Captains Courageous DVD

Captain Courageous is updated version of a story by Rudyard Kipling"Captains courageous." (Kipling dollar library for young moderns). In the movie, staring Robert Urich as a fishing boat's captain, and Kenny Vodas as a young, spoiled rich boy who falls overboard from a cruise liner and is rescued by a fishing boat and is required to work if he wants to eat is a great story about growing up.


Highly recommended for any family who has a young teenage boy that is not use to minding his manners, respecting his elders, and doing chores as a responsibility.

Warning has a "tear-jerking" ending.

What a great gift the DVD's and the books made to our two grandsons (age 8 & 9). The movies were shared with their parents & siblings. The books are being read as "bedtime stories" now and enjoyed by all.
A very appropriate selection for school age children...and children of all ages!

I bought this movie after we read the original book by Kipling. What a horrible disappointment.

I don't know why Hollywood feels the need to "rewrite" a classic. Kipling is a proven author and they can do nothing to improve the story line! In fact they ruined it! Don't waste your time or money!
