Title: let down again...
Review: You'd think with the money of Disney and modern filmmaking technology that a studio could make a great version of this classic book. Alas, it is not to be with this version of Red Fern.The seeming little things get glossed over like the impact of Billy's first trip into the city. Would it be so hard to shoot the fire escape scene or the ladies laughing at Billy in town? Those things made Billy's character ring true in the book...And the emotional connection between Billy and the dogs is almost non-existent.Good casting and the opening scene is almost directly from the book...After that scene I had high hopes...This film just doesn't quite make it.
Is the review positive or negative?
