A man's Movie about a Boy and his Dog
A straight transfer to DVD from video but a very good cut. Where the Red Fern grows takes place in the Depression Era Oklahoma. The kid is absoultely dying to own a set of hunting dogs. He works his put off to earn the [amt] dollars that these 2 red tick hounds, Old Dan and Little Ann and then they become the top coon dogs in that part of the state. While I won't spoil the ending I will say as a dog owner I cry every time I watch with the love that those dogs show for there master and friend. A must have DVD for any dog lover.

Loved it.....
I saw this movie as a child -- I still love it as an adult! Granted, it's not the same as the book, but it's a great movie about love, responsibility and growing up. A true classic.

All Time Favorite
This All Time Favorite is a must see, and a must read. If you are a dog-lover, or if you like down home stories of growing up in the country, this is for you. Did you like Old Yeller? Then you've gotta see this one too. Good family movie with good interaction between the generations of the boy and his parents, the boy and his grandfather. But it's mostly the story of a boy and his love for his dogs, because he got not one--but two after perservering through the old fashion virtue of "he earned them".
There is conflict between the boy and the neighborhood bullies, and great drama when a terrible thing happens. And beyond all that, this is a tale of Coon-Hunting, if you ever wondered what it would be like to go racing through the brush trying to outwit that wily critter who would often try to drown your dogs. Ok, 'nuff said. You gotta have this one.
