Has anyone seen it? Sledder in artartica has to leave his dogs, can't get back to them and they free themselves and survive for six months?
It's a Disney film so obviously there is a Bambi thing going on, but I'd really like to know a couple of things,
The last two dogs are specified as Malamutes. So what are the others?
He says of the last two of the team, (the Mals) that they are there for brawn not brain. Is there any basis for that? Comapared to whatever breed the rest of the team are?
The scenes (SPOILER don't read if you don't want to know what hapens in the movie)
... where the dogs bring the birds to Maya and honour her as leader, that is pure Disney, right?
...similarly when Maya can no longer lead, and passes the kill back to Buck ... that BS, isn't it?
Or is it? I know these dogs are bred to be independant thinkers, team players, workers. I know Disney ranked that up 1000% but can anyone with knowledge of these dogs comment on the movie. I'd realy be interested to know how much was BS and how much teamwork and pack behaviour could be expected under this fictisious circumstance.
BTW - all the analysing aside I bawled like a baby at the end.
