I can totally imagine people being into this. It's a movie that feels like it belongs playing on the TV at my grandparents' house when I was a child, and there's a comfort in that. But otherwise, this was a chore to get through and never got into it. The technicolor and locations are gorgeous, the yearling is cute, and Gregory Peck is reliable as always. But the story never particularly grabbed me, and the child performance was constantly oscillating between endearing and annoying to me. This movie probably needs the viewer to be in a certain mode to watch this, and I'm just not there at all.
