Movie Reviews of Dog of FlandersMovie Review: Great wholesome story for the whole family Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. I'd seen it previously on Netflix and decided to get it for my own DVD home collection so I could share it with friends and family.
It's the story of Nello, an orphan boy living in poverty with his dear grandfather. Though he is poor he feels rich having the love of his grandfather and beloved dog, and the esteem of many village folk. He is hardworking, loving, and honest as well as extremely gifted with artistic ability. This artistic ability is the vehicle by which the movie progresses and he meets a great artist who takes an interest in him.
His dog, Patrosch, was left for dead by an abusive peddler. Nello and his grandfather find him at the start of the film and though they really cannot afford him Nello can't bear to leave him. He takes him home and nurses him back to health and becomes Nello's best friend.
Summary of Dog of FlandersStudio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 08/09/2005 Rating: Nr An appreciation for fine art, virtue, and relationships marks this family film set in Europe when Flanders was still Flanders before it was swallowed up by France and Belgium. But parents should be aware that this 95-minute video also features a good dollop of death, beginning with the demise of the hero's mother at the very beginning when he is just a baby. Raised by his impoverished grandfather (Jack Warden), Nello (Jeremy James Kissner) nevertheless finds happiness in the dog he finds left for dead, a neighbor girl who becomes his soul mate, and the talent for drawing he inherits from his mother. He even becomes the protégé of the town's premier painter (Jon Voight). But life holds many bitter lessons for Nello, including the death of his grandfather when he is a teen, betrayal by those he trusts, and his own near-death. Gorgeously shot on location by director and cowriter Kevin Brodie, this movie has many rewards, including, finally, a happy ending. For mature 7-year-olds and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs
