We really enjoyed this movie. Remember, It is just a movie.
Two thumbs up!!
Locations don't need to be real to make a point.
Scenery is very pretty. Poachers get what they deserve, brought to justice. The way that they made the animals suffer about makes you cry.

August{Indian} teaches about respect & appreciation for the wildlife, nature & in real life situations about family.
Teaches the kids a lot in 3 days.

Had a very good happy ending.

Very good movie we have seen in a very long time. Good family adventure type movie. Due to the nature of the poachers, not suitable for a young audience. More like pre-teen to Adult. Not at all a small kids movie.

August{played in Free Willy Movies} playes the Indian in this movie.
Very good natured and teaches us a lot throughout the movie.
This movie is similar.

We liked the movie & are sharing our reviews with you.
It is added to our collection.
