 Heartwarming film for the whole family April 27, 2000

A Dog of Flanders is a touching film, and well shot with beautiful scenery. No it's not a masterpiece, far from it, but it is a solidly good family film, you don't see very often now-a-days. The two main children characters are acted well by the young actors and actresses, Warden is good as the aging grandfather, and John Voight, one of my favorite, is once again superb in his role as a very talented artist, Michael. The film's title is A Dog of Flanders, but don't be fulled, it really isn't about the dog (who was cute) that much. It's more about a poor, young boy (Nello) with lots of artistic dreams, overcoming obstacles to be the best that he can be. The ending is good if a bit predictable (my father knew how it would end only a few minutes into the movie). A Dog of Flanders is good, clean, enjoyable, family fun. It doesn't make your brain frazzle with its storyline, and no Oscar winners are here, but I'll take it any day over these shoot-em-up, cuss-em-out, vulgar movies hollywood is churning out by the minute today.

this movie is great. it is called a dog of flanders but the story dosent really focus on the dog. the perfomance of jeese james as young nello was very very good. i was disappionted when he was out of the picture and the older boy took over i did think he was as good of an actor. he was not bad though just jeese was alot better

I rented this movie today (will probably buy it if it comes out on DVD) because I appreciated the 1959 version with David Ladd so much. (It is still available on VHS.) There are good things about both versions-- in the earlier, David Ladd at least attempts to sound native to Belgium, using their words for 'father' and 'Mrs.' if I remember correctly. Both have happy endings. Much is added in Hollywood style for the 1999 version, however. In fact, about halfway into the story, it pretty much becomes a new story, compared to the earlier version. I did like the way the film touched on a belief in an afterlife and the good 'model' it displays about being honest for possible kid viewers today. Some have said the dog was cute. He looked like a big blob with two tiny eyes to me-- and he certainly couldn't 'act' much. If you want to see a dog really perform, then see "My Dog Skip"! Another good point-- the music score is excellent. I thought I had spotted a 'flaw' when the boy still had 'snow' on his hair after being in the church all night--- but then remembered how cold those old European cathedrals really are! All in all, a good movie for the whole family, and a an excellent way to see some great art and scenery from Flanders, the movie being done 'on location'.

A terrific family movie without those embarrassing words to worry about while your watching, but suspenceful enough to interest your twelve-year-old. Probably not intended for little tikes.
 Great movie! February 25, 2000

This is a touching animal film with a twist, but good ending. I loved it! Anyone who likes, or loves, animals, will adore this film. I recommend this to everyone.
