VHS Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Milo and Otis [VHS]

Movie Review: Milo and Otis
Summary: 5 Stars

This Japanese prize winning film was made about 20 years ago. I bought it for my granddaughter in Australia.
The photography is breathtaking and the dialogue (Dudley Moore) is charming. The expressions on the faces of the kitten and puppy watching a chick hatch from an egg is worth the cost of the DVD. It's a great family
film. I don't own any animals but these two continue to touch my heart.

Movie Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you love animals, or know someone who does, or if you have kids, you need to add this movie to your collection. STUNNING how they have captured these feats on film!!!

Movie Review: Animal cruelty allegations ... more info from Wikipedia
Summary: 3 Stars

the rumors of cruelty have neither been confirmed nor disproven...

"When the film was first released, several Australian animal rights organizations raised allegations of animal cruelty during filming and called for a boycott. The Sunday Mail reported at the time that Animal Liberation Queensland founder Jacqui Kent alleged the killing of more than 20 kittens during production and added that she was disturbed by reports from Europe which alleged other animals had been injured, as in one case, where a producer allegedly had broken a cat's paw to make it appear unsteady on its feet. Kent said her organization had a number of complaints from people who had seen the film and were concerned that it could not have been made without cruelty.[1] The Tasmanian and Victorian branches of the RSPCA also alleged abuses.[2]

The film was reported to have the approval of the American Humane Society, despite not having their officers present during filming.[3]

The American Humane Association attempted to investigate cruelty rumors through "contacts in Europe who normally have information on movies throughout the world." While noting that the contacts had also heard the allegations, they were unable to verify it as being true. The organization also reported, "we have tried through humane people in Japan, and through another Japanese producers to determine if these rumors are true but everything has led to a dead end."[4]

Movie Review: Ok, now I feel terrible
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this movie at target for $5 for my son remembering how much I loved it as a kid. He has watched it a couple of times and adores it, and I thought it was a benign kid's film. My husband and I were suspicious about how they got the animal to perform such tasks but assummed they had trained animals to do it all. Recently, my friend told me that the film was filmed in Japan and as many as 30 cats were killed or harmed in the making. It is all starting to make sense now! I wish I could take it back because I feel awful having given my money to a movie that was cruel to animals.

Summary of The Adventures of Milo and Otis [VHS]

Japanese filmmaker Masanori Hata made this above-average family film about a dog and a cat--friends with a tendency to make mischief--who go on an unanticipated adventure when one is rushed downriver and the other follows. Hata, who took four years to complete the work, relies on purely cinematic storytelling techniques (these animals don't have human voices on the soundtrack), making the film an international favorite. Dudley Moore narrates, but the film works because Hata's filmmaking fundamentals are so good. Kids love this, but adults can easily appreciate and enjoy it, too. --Tom Keogh
