Anybody have a desire to see it? I read all the dogs in the movie are animations. Thus, the film’s statement no dogs were injured in the movie.

The book was sure good and I like Harrison Ford.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

The book triggers the imagination so much that I can't imagine how any movie, particularly with an animated dog, could be worth watching. I read that book multiple times as a kid 30 years ago and I can still picture what I imagined.

Ford is a hack like the rest of Hollywood hard to connect with a fake dog as it has no real talent.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Most of the trailer looked computer generated to me.

I loved the book too much to risk ruining the story by seeing the "movie."

I love the book. I wrote a book report on it in fifth, sixth, and seventh grades.
I think I have read all Jack London's books and stories.

The advertisements look like there's a lot of computer animated and I don't like that kind of thing, But, for this story, I'll risk seeing the movie. I hope they put nothing in it that is not in the book.

Harrison Ford is a bunny hugging liberal jerk. I probably would have went to the movie if it wasn't for that. Don't these people, and I'm talking about everybody that involved in the production of this film, realize they are losing money on his opinion alone.

You'd think that they did White Fang decent justice, Call of the Wild would be easy. Saw there previews when I saw Rise of Skywalker and wasn't impressed with them. Do need to read the book again.

A London book that would be more interesting and doable would be Sea Wolf.

London himself wasn't much different to be fair

Movies are never as good as the books are. All the computer generated stuff in modern movies doesnt appeal to me at all. So I probably wont watch it, well maybe in a few years when its free I may watch a bit. I really liked Michael Crichton's book Congo, so was all set when the movie came out. Man what a let down so much left out to fit in the time allowed and parts re-written made the movie terrible.

CGI isn't bad when done right.. it's just painful when done badly. It needs to blend in, the previews shown just aren't.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

To me it all stands out like a sore thumb. If I wanted to watch a video game I would just watch my son play on his xbox.

My friend and I are taking our kids next week.


It looks to be a pretty tamed down version but still probably better than most other kids movies out there.

I quit watching movies years ago when they started to look like cartoons with all the computer stuff.
The James Bond movies werent bad.
