I’ll never forget crying in the theater when I saw this as a kid. 😢
Hope you won’t mind that I’m going to do some info dumping. This is based on a true story of a Japanese expedition in the 50’s that went wrong, the dogs being left behind to survive. This was made into a Japanese film in the 80’s, which inspired this film. Obviously, this is a Disney film, so it doesn’t get too graphic or depressing, unlike the Japanese film. It’s a story I’ve been fascinated with since I was a preteen. This adaptation isn’t very true to life, unfortunately.
I wish this film focused more on the dogs than the people. A good amount of us care more about them.
Now I gotta rewatch Antarctica. It’s 2 1/2 hours long, so the time will have to be right.
