Eight Below (2006)

Celebrates the Human-Animal Bond

If you love animals, or even if you see them as more than just conveniences for humans, this DVD is for you. A group of sled dogs are left "temporarily", and it turns out that this abandonment may be forever. The higher-ups don't see the dogs as anything worth making a special trip to recover. The sledders do. If nothing else, the dogs have saved their lives on more than one occasion in the treacherous Antarctic environment. To arrange a rescue trip itself becomes an adventure. If it takes place, will it possibly be in time to save the dogs?

The dogs have their own adventures. They have to contend with cold, starvation, injuries, and being chained in one place. They also have to deal with cracking snow and a ferocious sea lion. How long can they survive? Will they ever see the humans again?

Amazing movie @}->---

There is so much to talk about with this fantastic movie. The acting, scenery, the dog training, the music and the story itself. I don't know why it took me so long to see it.
I am not a major dog loving fan, but these beautiful dogs were definately the stars of the movie. They are magnificent and steel every scene they're in. Paul Walker did an excellent job as Jerry Shepard who takes scientists around Antarctic. A storm rolls in and the dogs are left at the base camp chained so they won't break free and get lost. Now the storm will keep help from getting to them until Spring. There are some definate tear starting moments and I won't give anything away, but while this is a Disney movie, it is a very beautiful and powerful one. It's something that will appeal to people of all age groups and I highly recommend everyone sees it. Like I said earlier, I don't know why it took me so long to watch it, but now that I have, I'm really glad that I have. October 10, 2008

Has heart.

Eight Below starring Paul Walker is a special and inspiring film. The 8 dogs in this film are so cute and such talented actors, lol. Jason Biggs plays another goofball, that dude needs a new nitch! Walker is such a babe, he is excellent in this moving drama. Some parts of the film are a bit slow but I enjoyed this Disney flick pretty much the whole way through. Check it out sometime!
