Reviews for Eight Below
The film is padded out to a full two hours, which may not be quite as long as the dogs have to wait for their rescue, but it does feel like it.

The human interaction is just a little too precious and the digression away from the dogs and the main story is just too long for it to feel like anything but a major detour.

It’s heartwarming, occasionally exciting, and some of the cinematography is exemplary.

The film looks handsome, the photography is grand, and the dogs do their part admirably. Now, if it weren't for those pesky humans....

Walker and co. might get a healthy burst of screentime in the middle, but its the team of dogs who steal the show.

The dogs are adorable and the scenery is impressive, but this is poorly written, badly paced and at least 30 minutes too long.

The biggest accomplishment of all is keeping these wonderful, loveable sled dogs inhuman; they are dogs. And we love dogs.

Now, this is a kids' movie, first and foremost, so my high rating is based on the film's core demographic and not geared to snobby, Milk-Dud encrusted cinephiles who scoff at a little Mark Isham -engineered heart tugging.

Perhaps you have to be a dog owner to be reduced to the blubbering mess that I found myself in by the end of Disney's Eight Below.

The dogs take the biscuit in Eight Below, an enthralling fact-based tale of man's best friend struggling to survive a harsh Antarctic winter.

An example of a formula picture executed with the right mixture of professionalism and heart.

Could this be the beginning of a new era of excellence for Disney? We'll see. It's definitely a great start.
