I showed this movie to my 4th graders after reading the book to them. They were a little disappointed with the movie. It left out some crucial scenes that lead the reader/watcher to make a connection to Billy and so the movie is not as meaningful as the book. There were lots of tears in the book, not so many during the movie. My students were also disappointed in the lack of details of some of the biggest scenes in the book, the boy dying with the ax, the hunting competion, the death scene. It's a good movie, but no where near as good as the book. July 7, 2008

This version of Where The Red Fern Grows is much more like the book than the older version. It shows more of the hard work and determined effort that went into getting the dogs. The whole family loves it, it was a tear jerker too, because we recently lost our Little Ann. June 16, 2008

Billy Coleman, a ten-year-old boy, wanted a pair of hunting dogs. Following his grandfather's advice, Billy worked hard and saved until he had enough money to buy them. The movie does not really show you that it took Billy two years to earn this money. Once he gets the dogs, Billy patiently trains them to hunt and they become the best in the state. Being best, however, is not always enough as love given and returned form the basis of true caring and courage. The hunting dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann are the true stars of this movie.
