Have you read "Watership Down" by Richard Adams? Probably a classics by now. Might be little value in reading for this blog as it's not for younger kids, but I think you may change your mind re animals expressing emotions in a story such as this. grandma janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11417858817621745696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887282718882909879.post-23867991069013611702013-04-18T09:47:05.565-05:002013-04-18T09:47:05.565-05:00Yes, you definitely do have a point there with Dis...Yes, you definitely do have a point there with Disney movies I think. And yet we still love 'em. :D<br /><br />Glad you'll check out Spirit! It's an amazing movie with great music too. I don't think it was done by Disney...<br /><br />Yup, glad to clarify that bit; you find it out more in the second movie. :)Lurainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887282718882909879.post-91349894831799093212013-04-17T21:47:31.760-05:002013-04-17T21:47:31.760-05:00Lurai,
I am so glad you enjoyed the review.
Yes, I...Lurai,<br />I am so glad you enjoyed the review.<br />Yes, I believe the plot is often the same even if it does change a bit here and there. And while I agree that most stories are about a character encountering challenges and dealing with them, I think the similar-plot thing goes even further with Disney animal movies.<br /><br />Thank you for the recommendation. I will have to check that movie out. Horses and dogs hold special places in my heart, so I couldn't turn that one down.<br /><br />Ahh. I wondered if that was the case, with it being a spirit. Thank you for clarifying that for me.<br /><br />Thank you for reading!Maria Giannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791370794016133725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887282718882909879.post-51746363475396753382013-04-17T21:21:44.948-05:002013-04-17T21:21:44.948-05:00Yay, Balto!!

I grew up on this story, among others. :D<br /><br />Nice review of it, by the way. :) You do have a big point with the predictable plot; I've been wondering about that with books as well lately. The common theme is always the hero overcoming challenges, etc., etc., but I guess certain detail/circumstances within the plots can change or something. (?)<br /><br />Anyway, super glad you reviewed it! It is a cute story and fun for the younger crowd. If you want to see an animal movie where at the very least the animals don't talk much, I highly recommend Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. There is a romance, but it's a good, solid one I believe, and one of the most beautiful parts of the movie is that the horses don't really speak and don't need to. I think I cry every time I watch that thing. :)<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, that wolf *SPOILER HERE DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE SECOND MOVIE* is a spirit, and *spoiler* his mother. Or something like that? I think she turned into a spirit but was regular before? Anyway she's cool. :)<br /><br />Thanks again for the fun review! :)Lurainoreply@blogger.com
