In this Benji adventure, the lovable dog finds himself in the wilds of Oregon after his trainer's boat capsizes during a storm. Not only does he have to survive, but he also has to take care of four orphaned cougar cubs, and fight for their survival, as well.
As with every movie, there are pros, and cons. The pros of this movie are the scenery is breathtaking. It was filmed on location in Oregon and Washington, and it is just beautiful. You can not improve on Mother Nature. Unlike the other Benji movies, there is very little dialogue, but storyline is easy to follow, anyway. Benji is a very expressive little dog, and it is easy for the audience to tell what he is thinking/feeling, with the help of the background music as well. The music is very nice as well, and helps set the scene quite beautifully.
As for the cons, parts of the movie are a bit slow moving, such as toward the end when Benji has to carry the cubs up the mountain one at a time. This scene dragged for a bit. The movie is also pretty dark at points, such as a hunter killing the cougar cubs' mother (there is some blood). They are also menaced by a wolf, and one of the cubs is taken by an eagle, which may be disturbing to a younger viewer.
All in all, this is a very enjoyable film, and not to mention, very adorable.
