DVD Review: Animal cruelty
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't understand how anyone would support or write a glowing review about a movie in which animals were certain injured and/or killed during filming. Atrocious. Go with Homeward Bound instead -- do not buy this film.DVD Review: Animal Cruelty at it's WORST
Summary: 1 Stars
There are rumors about this movie saying 20 cats were killed and a cat's paw was broken to make it limp in a scene. I don't know if those rumors are true or not. What I DO know is that animals were tortured to make this movie.
1. In order for Otis to rescue Milo from a bear, the film makers put the little dog and a bear cub together and filmed whatever would happen. The cub seemed to want to play with the dog. It would take it's large paws and swat at it, knocking the dog around like it was a stuffed animal. Keep in mind, even though it was a bear cub, it could break the dog's back like it was a twig. The bear may not have been mean, but the whole scene was an accident waiting to happen. It is incredibly irresponsible to put a little dog in this situation. And the dog was NOT enjoying it. If you watch his body language, he was scared to death and fighting for his life.
2. A cat is put in a box and sent down a river. If you watch the movie, there are several moments when the box looks like it will come to shore and the cat would be able to jump out. But that's when they cut the tape and push the cat back out so that it can plummet down a waterfall. In the footage they show, the cat survived. But...that's in the footage that made it in the movie. I would hate to see the outtakes.
3. They put the cat in a tree with a snake. Maybe the snake wasn't poisonous. Maybe the snake wouldn't bite the cat. But the cat clearly did not know this and it was scared to death. I do not agree that any animal should be put in a state of fear for the sake of making a movie. If an animal is used for a movie, any "acting" it does should be something the animal enjoys doing.
4. They throw the cat down a deep hole.
5. They throw the cat off a cliff into water below near large rocks with big waves crashed on them. First of all, anybody that throws a cat off anything should be arrested and locked away. There is absolutely NO excuse for this. Second, the person that threw the cat into the water could easily have missed and the cat could have landed on the rocks. Third, even after the cat survives the fall, it panics and tries to climb back up the cliff, only to fall back into the water and have a giant wave crash onto it, slamming it into the rocks. This is ALL ON FILM! It is NOT a rumor. They even narrated for it! After the cat falls again the narrator goes "Oops! Try try again!" in a cute way as if this cruel display was in any way cute.
6. They put the cat in a tree and send the bear cub up after it. Very similar to the scene with the snake. The cat is scared to death.
There's also a scene where they stick the cat in a smokestack. The cat pokes his head out and he's practically blinded by the smoke and ash. I can only imagine what went into his lungs.
I really can't believe all the positive reviews for this movie. I can only hope that the defenders of this trash do not have pets.

Summary: 1 Stars
Started watching this this morning with my toddler. Everyone on the farm... cute cute... pleasant Dudley Moore voice. Whimsical, adorable - but what have we here? cats falling into rushing water? A cat getting its face attacked by a crab? A dog getting dunked by a bear? I go online and watch the outtakes - scenes that were deleted from the US version but shown in Japan. That director threw a cat off a cliff into the rushing water of the ocean. Even if he released the rest of the footage (i.e., the footage that didn't make it into the Japanese version, the takes they didn't use), that would not exonerate him of animal cruelty, because it is in the film plain to see. I guess what's equally disturbing is how so many US audience members exonerate him automatically on the basis that this is a children's film released by Columbia, that it was Dudley Moore's voice, or that the director was a zoologist. All those things can be true, co-existing with the truth that the director put cats and dogs in danger and caused them pain for this film. There is no logical reason why the quality of Dudley Moore's character or Columbia film's judgment or the director's profession would mean that cruelty could not have happened. My logical argument for the fact that there was cruelty in this film is that the original version of the film shows a cat being tossed off a cliff into the ocean, scrambling back up the rocks, and falling back in the ocean as he loses his footing. This was done with no special effects and any animal who had this happen would be frightened for its life, as well as at great risk for injury or death. People may hold various opinions about whether animal cruelty is a problem or not, but it is very clear that instances of violence against animals exist in this film. It is actually amazing that people are still debating the presence of animal cruelty in this film as if it were a question at all.
Description of The Adventures of Milo and Otis
Tells the story of the adventures of Milo, the curious kitten, and his friend Otis, the pug-nosed puppy.Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: G
Release Date: 2-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
Japanese filmmaker Masanori Hata made this above-average family film about a dog and a cat--friends with a tendency to make mischief--who go on an unanticipated adventure when one is rushed downriver and the other follows. Hata, who took four years to complete the work, relies on purely cinematic storytelling techniques (these animals don't have human voices on the soundtrack), making the film an international favorite. Dudley Moore narrates, but the film works because Hata's filmmaking fundamentals are so good. Kids love this, but adults can easily appreciate and enjoy it, too. --Tom Keogh
