One of my all-time favorite children's movies and I don't even have grandchildren. I watch it about once a year just for my own entertainment. It took three years to film and it's absolutely delightful. There are no human characters, just a great animal cast. I think it's the third copy I've bought, something eventually happened to the others and I don't want to be without a copy. Dudley Moore narrates masterfully.

I am happy to have bought this movie as I have never watched it before. It is also entertaining. They get lost then find each other, then it ends well.

I loved this simple, charming movie when I was young, and my daughter loves it today. A warm-hearted film about friendship that remains timeless. Entertaining despite the lack of cgi and scantily clad women.

Hi: Thanks for looking at my review of the Adventures of Milo and Otis. This movie held the attention of children as young as two years old and that of children who are reaching adolescence. It mesmerized each individual child, and they asked to see it over and over again! As an educator, I view the value of this movie as a companion tool to advance the message that although life throws things in one's path, one can accomplish quite a bit if one speaks aloud about what is the problem (defining the issue) and asks for both feedback and help in obtaining resolution of the problem. It is clear that by Milo and Otis working together as a team they overcome many obstacles in reaching their common goal. They must rely upon each other to bring them to their happy ending. The movie informs children that as members of society they are will successfully reach individual and common goals by working with others to solve problems and issues which come up unexpectedly in life. Children comprehend that they have the ability to think clearly when working with others, that not all ideas are feasible (some ideas just don't work to their advantage, but are worth exploring), and that their accomplishment of tasks completion is not based solely upon one individual's desires, but rather, because of the teamwork inherent in the structure of meeting challenges to reach the desired outcome. As a mother, my perspective allowed me to view children entertained throughout the length of the movie, then stimulated to talk about what they'd seen, and discuss how they could follow Milo's and Otis' example in their own homes (as well as outside their homes). The real-life images brought to the screen by this movie mirrored genuine life as it is today: children grasped that this was not "make-believe" or "cartoon-like" and it provided them a working model of how to approach others and how not to approach others. This is something which must be grasped so that children learn to function in society and not apart from it, especially the function of working together to "get what needs to be done, done." It's a great movie, on a scale of one-to-ten (ten being the highest), I rate this a ten and endorse it. As a final recommendation, sit with your children and watch the movie with them: you will completely enjoy yourself. MT LyonsRead full review
Great value! My daughter loves this warm tale of friendship and adventure between a dog and a cat who live on a farm of talking animals. Very engaging story.
