 "Family Favorite"Milo and Otis is an enduring favorite in my family. I still love it and sometimes watch it even when none of the children are around. Last month I introduced Milo and Otis to my 2-year old nephew, and he absolutely loved it. Forget cartoons, forget Disney, all he wants to watch is "the cat and the dog movie", as he calls it. "THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS"I liked this movie because the narrator does a really great job with all the voices. All the animals were great actors and the music was excellent too. "Ignore the negative reviews for this film"Ignore the sour people who give this film negatives reviews;They have never learned to laugh or take things lightly.Lighten up,people!This film is NOT to be taken seriously!The so-called"abuse"scenes are fake.If your kid(s)are worried about the "abuse"scenes,explain to them that it's all fake.The animals are well-trained,the scenery is beautiful,and the storyline is well-written.This is a great alternative to so-called "family-films"like "Problem Child".  "A great adventure"A friend gave me this film for my 21/2 to watch. Not being into animal films I put the video on the shelf. About a month later my son found it & put it on. I was instantly involved. I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner. It is not your typical heart-warming animal film (although it IS heart-warming). It is excitement from beginning to end. There is a huge variety of animal featured in this film so if nothing else it is a great way to introduce kids to all kinds of animals. I found myself yelling out & getting involved with the numerous adventures Milo & Otis find themselves in. The narration is fun & doesn't take away from the animals at all. A real adventure film that IS cute without being cutsie. "THE ADVENTURES OF MILO & OTIS!"MILO is a dog and OTIS is a cat whose outrageous ADVENTURES are narrated by DULDEY MOORE! Set in JAPAN, your KIDS will LAUGH as they see how much trouble a dog and cat can get. Which is a LOT! Yes, this film was originally made in Japanese! You see, ONCE UPON A TIME, Milo and Otis grew up on the same farm, living HAPPY lives! Then they get separated and set off on an epic JOURNEY to find each other! THRILL as Milo and Otis cross over mountains and snow-covered landscapes searching for one another! A WONDERFUL tale of TRUE FRIENDSHIP! So what is they are "just" ANIMALS! This is one of the those great Disney films that Disney did not make! |
