Now I hate it... forever. No seriously, I went into this thing thinking "whatever's said here, it won't change how much I liked this movie as a kid". Well, turns out I never once considered how the movie was actually put together. The surprising fact that it was made in Japan (why do I keep finding out everything I liked in the 80's was made there?) is kinda blurred out by the incredible animal cruelty this movie had to have.
Great... Most things I liked in my childhood I can still muster up some love for, but then again most of those things don't involve throwing 30 cats off a cliff. This doesn't make that ripoff Homeward Bound a good movie! Just a MUCH more moral one. Hell, even if they put together a CG remake "Now without the sting of cruelty", it'd still carry that history with it. This is just going to be one of those times when I have to sever all ties with all positive emotions I felt towards this thing. That sucks Japan, but what should I expect from the country that brought us The Cove?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
