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.

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!!)

Fantastic family movie just a bit of scary violence for children around 8 and below.
I think this is a fantastic family movie or a great movie just to cuddle up and watch by yourself. Be sure to have a box of tissues on hand as it is one of the best tear jerkers I've ever watched. The only thing that might be iffy for younger kids is *warning, spoiler alert!* he has to shoot Old Yeller in the end. Kids may not understand or get the wrong idea so be sure to take note of that. Otherwise is a perfect, clean family movie! :D

great, but sad
on of the saddest movies around (and also scary and relativaley disturbing at some parts), keep kidds under 6 or 7 away from it. it is a very sad tale, especially if you own a dog.
