Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog | 1995 | PG | - 0.3.1

A boy, a dog, a loving family, an adventure and a little innocent romance.

SEX/NUDITY 0 - One very chaste kiss between a teenage boy and girl.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Some scenes may be scary for small children including a violent storm at sea which leaves characters shipwrecked, an unsuccessful wolf attack (no blood), a bobcat feeding on its kill (very little blood) and one heart-grabbing scene in which a dog falls from a log bridge into a deep ravine. It is also implied that a character has killed and eaten a mouse (for survival).

LANGUAGE 1 - One mild profanity.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Mother nature, a young person surviving on his/her own.

MESSAGE - Love provides a family in crisis with strength; respect each other and the natural world.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
