Themes of love and care between a man and a dog, care and love for animals, friendship and strong bond, rescue and survival, determination and urge to reach destination, hope and loneness, separation and reunion presented sensitively within adventure context. There is a slight sense of threat due to infrequent low impact violence hence parental guidance is necessary to reassure younger viewers. |

24.com Bronwyn McKay It's not perfect, but it's not bad either and will be a great trip to the cinema for the entire family – or a great family movie night at home. | 10 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy So, we’re left with something of a mixed bag where what works (the emotional moments and, yes, the cute pup) ends up being negated by what doesn’t, or at least operates below acceptable levels. | 10 | |
