Designed especially for animal-loving movie buffs, this all-inclusive film reference contains more than 75 reviews of movies in which a primary character is an animal. With behind-the-scenes tidbits about Hollywood and the human and animal actors that appear in these movies, the entertaining and informative listings provide animal lovers the details needed to choose movies that will appeal to them and offers parents the background to select appropriate movies for their children. Featured films survey both the all-time greats and the yawners, and run the gamut from general admission to R-rated, including Ace Ventura, Babe: Pig in the City, The Lion King, Turner & Hooch, Seabiscuit, Stuart Little, and Willard. Interviews with actors such as Antonio Banderas, Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper, Kevin Costner, Viggo Mortensen, and Hollywood animal trainers Anne Gordon and Nancy Bacon present an insider's perspective while numerous sidebars sprinkled throughout the book reveal interesting factoids about how stunts are staged and how readers can get their pets in the pictures.
