About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like uplifting animal adventures with history and heart, somewhere between Ferdinand and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron; Not for you if you want a harsher, more intense war story.
Pros: heartfelt true story; family-friendly war setting; lovable heroic dog | Cons: plays it too safe; thin supporting characters; uneven animation quality
