A sprightly little entertainment that should enthrall tots without straining the patience of their parents.

Top Critic

This film is clever even with its human actors, dispensing with the first film's animal-loving hermits and playing up the importance of a cute, newly typical American family.

Even the most televisionally overstimulated will likely enjoy this boy-and-his-dog movie -- which also happens to be a girl-and-her-cat movie too.

It has a certain craftsmanship and an undeniable charm, and if you find yourself watching it with a child you may end up liking it almost as much.

Not a perfect film, but generally one that should please adults and children.

• 1. Shadow--The Golden Retriever: A few wild dogs took it upon themselves to watch over man: to bark when he's in danger, to run and play with him when he's happy, to nuzzle him when he's lonely. That's why they call us man's best friend.
