Far better than the remake

Reviewed by A. Nonymus, 2009-06-11

This original version of the story is far better than the remake of Disney. Great pictures, good camera, great casting, great story, excellent soundtrack (Vangelis). Don't miss this experience.

Why I love dogs

One of the all-time most seen films by Japanese movie-goers, this true to life story about two sled dogs surviving the Antarctica Winter was ripped off by Disney's "Eight Below".

I first saw this movie on HBO in 1985. I will never be the same. The movie is a masterpiece, and you'll never forget the story. Absolutely the one movie that made the biggest impression on me.
Wow is all I can say.

all positive reviews are true, except Amazon's

Reviewed by California Son, 2007-04-21

This is a spectacular film and it's faults, generally related to the expected low quality one sees in most Japanese films, is easily forgotten because the story is true, and fairly recent.
The Amazon review however, is a bit of spoiler and also erroneous in its statement that the dogs were "inadvertently" left behind.
Still, if this film doesn't connect with you emotionally, call the paramedics! Because your heart has left your body.
