It is a good show but the very end is very sad.

Great movie with a lot of scary real-life dangers.
It's hard to critcize this old chestnut, and I admit I let my 4 year old see it many times. It does have significant scary parts though, e.g., boy gets attacked by wild hogs, mother gets attacked by rabid wolf. There is also period-related sexism (the father leaves the nearly adolescent son in charge of the farm and tells him to take care of his mother). I don't think I'll be destroying anyone's enjoyment if I mention that the end is very sad because the protagonist has to deal with crushing loss (Old Yeller has to be "put down").

Very sad but interesting
I haven't seen the movie, but I have read the book, and if the movie is like the book, then the movie is awesome. The book is amazing, interesting and so sad. I can imagine how sad it is to actually see it.

It's alright
This movie is one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. It's almost impossible for me to cry during movies, but this made me so sad. It's a one-time only movie for me.

I wached it with my fifth grade class. it was ok. the best thing about it is that it is also a book, and i took an AR test on it and got a 90. (that means i only missed 1 question!!)
