Many thanks to Steve for sending me a copy of this short film.
The title isn’t exactly P.C. but this is a beautiful film any dog lover will be thrilled to own, and watch again and again.
Not to be a kvetch, but I can’t get rid of the control bar at the bottom of the screen. Thanks in avance.
Thanks for that, Scott, I changed the settings now, please refresh.
Refreshed! Thanks, Jon. I’ve been on here all day!
Although it was fine a few days ago this (and quite a few others) no longer seems to be able to play. The control bar indicates a 0:00 running time.
Working again!
A charming, well-made live action by Disney Studios. Like Bob Verini, I blanched at the politically incorrect reference to calling a Mexican dog a “wetback,” but it does not detract very much when enjoying the great cinematography.
