    There is so much wrong with White Fang that it's easier to point out the good.

    A perennial family favourite is given the Disney treatment, complete with soaring orchestral score and a sheen of sentimentality that all but masks the more serious undertones of the original.

    Despite moments of bravura and shameless tugs at the heart-strings, the film simply meanders towards a resolution. What's Brandauer doing here?

    Though slow and overlong, the movie is at least scenic family fare.

    The movie is magnificently photographed on location. The performances are authentic and understated, and Brandauer makes a convincing veteran prospector, part hard-bitten, part dreamer.
