If you like nature films and stories about animals, this is a must see. Plus, the narration by Rex Allen is great.
The film is beautiful, not only in narrative, but the landscape of Washington state was used extensively. Winston Hibler, the director was an avid choice for such a task, as he had directed and produced Disney nature documentaries (True Life Adventure series) in the 1950s.
The star of the movie, Charlie the cougar was very believable and was obviously coached well. It must have been a hard job to train him.
There are two scenes that he was great in. The first was when he happened upon some barn cats drinking milk, and being just a big house cat, he joined in. The second scene was Charlie riding logs down a waterway through the woods. I'm very surprised they were able to get him to do that.
A great ending, as were most Disney family films of the time.
