"A young boy befriends a half-breed wolf as he searches for his father, who has mysteriously gone missing during the gold rush."
This is however not the description of this movie, rather Disney's make in 1991.
This movie rather focuses on the journey of a mix-breed wold-dog. who happens to be emotionally intelligent vivaciously strong. It is a wholesome movie, fun, and picturesque.
Lacking disney animation skill - the story and pacing of the plot rather makes up for its sub-par animation. Music accompanied the artistic depiction of the North makes a perfect viewing experience.
