Ring of Bright Water (1969)
Disappointing and shocking ending

The first 85% of this movie was a warm beautiful story in which the critter stole the show. The main actors having worked with animals in Born Free were naturals and believable. The otter overcame all sorts of problems and mischief to steal your heart. The settings in Scotland and photography were absolutely spectacular and realistic. Then it happened, the poor otter was bludgeoned to death with a shovel. He deserved a better ending and so did the movie.It is not hard to blame the character of Dr.Mary for not protecting poor Mij. Having Mij's offspring show up at the end was unrealistic and hardly made up for what happened to Mij.
