 "How can one resist these lovely animals"I happen to own copies of both the original Japanese version and the US version of this movie and I have to admit that I love the former a bit more with the beautiful background music and narration. So, if I were to rate them, I would give 6 stars to "The Adventures of Chatran" (Japanese version) and 5 stars to "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" (US version). "One of the Cutest Movies of all time!!"This was one of the cutest movies I've ever seen! I would always watch it when I was little and now, I still think it's a wonderful movie. It's a tale about two extraordinary friends who go on a great adventure. Milo, the curious and rambunctious cat gets swept away down the river in a little box and his wonderful friend Otis begins a wild adventure to save his lost friend. It's a wonderful movie that kids and adults will love! "My heart and Milo and Otis"ever since way back when, i was maybe 6 years old, i still remember when i first rented it from the video store. it took my little breathaway. whenever i went back to rent a movie, i begged my mom to let me rent it again, until she finally bought it for me. this beautiful tale has so many layers, heart, and spirit, i can't begin to explain it. the first thing i should mention is, dont get fooled to thinking animals got hurt during the making of this, because they DIDNT. Masanori Hata takes VERY good care of his animals. he shot milo and otis on his own private island in Japan. the original movie was called the Adventures of Chatran, and it was longer. ( i've never seen it, i've been looking for years ) i hope someday i will see it. koneko monogatari ( milo and otis ) makes me cry at the beauty, sadness, and then joy finally. its a celebration of life. you can't dismiss it as a mere " kid's movie", it is for everyone. i detest the "adult" mindset, because it disables them from experiancing all forms of beauty. this is not a movie to me, it's a part of me, and it shares a special place in my heart. i love milo and otis. - jeffro "A great movie!"A heartwarming film about a kitten, a puppy, and their friendship. There is some dispute over supposed animal rights violations in this movie. Although the animals do look like they may be in distress at some times, the tales of cats being thrown off cliffs and dying until a good shot is taken are not true. I personally find it interesting that this has been called a touching movie about animals by the Humane Society, since this would seem to suggest that there they did not notice any significant animal rights violations in the movie. Other than that issue, this is a great movie. It shows a kitten and puppy growing up as they try to return home after the kitten accidentally gets himself into a wooden box and floats away from his farm.  "Entertain the Kids!"Kids are crazy about pugs because they are the perfect size! And the adventures of Milo and Otis will keep your kids....or in our case visiting kids busy and happily entertained! Not to mention our pugs enjoy watching it every now and then! Great movie for family viewing or a rainy day when there is "nothing to do." |
