5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly SWEET Family Film!, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Saltwater Moose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

NO SEX, NO VIOLENCE, NO DIRTY WORDS! Bobby, visiting his Grandmother for the summer (in beautiful Nova Scotia) is the new kid on the block. And he is being picked on by the local kids, until he is "adopted" by Jo, a girl his age who has a different view of life. She is obsessed with the desire to find a mate for a lone bull moose stranded on a small island. The friendship that develops between Bobby and Jo, aided and abetted by her tolerant father Lester, (played by Timothy Dalton, in a really different role for him), the conflicts of loyalty that occur, and the final dramatic (and traumatic) delivery of the female moose to the island make for exciting and fun viewing. If you are looking for something you can let your children watch without worrying (or if you are an adult looking for something gentle and refreshing) ,I highly recommend Saltwater Moose! (You guys at Amazon should be pushing this movie actively, along with all the other children's fare--it's a lot better than most!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best family film in years, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Saltwater Moose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is what family entertainment should be. This film deals with issues that are important to all members of the family and it deals with them without foul language. Mr. Dalton's rapport with the children is fun to watch and the moose family is a delight. I gave a copy to all my grandchildren and I recommend it to all families for a fun evening.

This review is from: Saltwater Moose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

salt water moose is a truly wonderful family film!! there's no violence, no bad language or no sex. it's just a film that can be enjoyed by children and people of all ages without worrying about those things. 2 nights ago, i was babysitting 3 little girls that i always babysitt. i brought over 4 videos. by my surprise, they wanted to see salt water moose. when the movie was over, the children did not stop talking about it! it's great!they were even hoping that they'd make a sequel to the film. and i myself really loved the film. i bought a copy the day after we watched it. and, i'm 15 years old:) so, this film is for any age. its for people who want to enjoy a good movie. the movie is about a boy named bobby whose parents have just divorced. he's going from toronto to nova scotia to spend the summer with his mother,eva, who is writing a novel and with his grandmother. at first, he's miserable and always being picked on by 3 neighborhood boys. but all thast changes when he meets jo, an adventurous tomboy girl. together, they sail off to rock island to visit a lonely bull moose named charlie. together, they decide to try to capture a female moose to sail her accross to the island to live with charlie. as the movie progresses, they do catch a female moose that they decide to call beatrice. the rest of the movie that follows is filled with fun, laughter and excitement for the whole family.it deals with family issues such as divorce and children who have lost one of their parents and are being raised by only one.so, this film makes us see the things that happen in life everyday.all in all, its an excellent film that your family will want to watch over and over again. it gets a 10/10 from me!
