Description:
Join a precocious golden retriever pup as he takes off on a magical journey to the wilds of the Australian Outback in this wonderful all-animal adventure. Napoleon is a wonderful treat the whole family will love! Life as a house pet isn't much fun for young Muffin, a puppy who dreams of being a "wild dog." So when he gets his chance to escape his suburban backyard in a helium balloon-powered basket, the pup hops on board, changes his name to Napoleon and sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way he meets some very special friends a chatty parrot, a wise owl, a clever koala and more who help him on his journey for excitement. But fun isn't all that Napoleon discovers on his quest for adventure...he also learns more about the world and himself than he ever thought possible.
Amazon.com:
This live-action feature follows the adventures of a golden retriever puppy who chafes under his given name of "Muffin" (much preferring his own choice of "Napoleon") and who travels through the Australian outback in search of his canine roots. Plopping, as puppies will do, into a basket suspended by balloons one day, Napoleon drifts from the home of his mother and human family, eventually landing on the rocky shore of Sydney Harbor. There he becomes acquainted with a chatty parrot named Birdo Lucci (say the name aloud, you film buffs) and encounters all manner of animals in the wild: a cagey koala, a maternal kangaroo, an irritated lizard, and the dingoes with whom he wants to bond. The film was produced with an eye toward pleasing young audiences practically anywhere on earth, and the sight gags and visual thrills have a broad, universal appeal, while the many creatures in this film are given human voices on the soundtrack (any language would do, but the English-language actors include Joan Rivers and Dame Edna). On the downside, the dialogue can be a bit coarse ("shut up," "stupid," that sort of thing), though it's never obscene. And while no animals were hurt during the making of the movie, some of them certainly look as if they're placed in stressful situations. --Tom Keogh

This video was a God-sent one, as we traveled up north this weekend and our 12 month old was captivated and content watching Nepolean over and over again (she loves dogs!) during the 6 hour trip. The dog's voice is soothing and the video is action packed for little ones. Napoleon saved our long trip and has a new admirer: our Natalie.

After my daughter borrowed this from the library
and watched it four times (and would have watched
it twenty) I knew we had to get our own copy.
It is good enough that it will keep an adult
interested also- at least for the first viewing.

Wonderful wonderful movie. Two days later I am still thinking about the movie and telling everyone. It was shown on Showtime and not everyone subscribes to Showtime. So I decided to search for it on Amazion for my very own copy. Great to have in your back pocket for unexpected kiddy guests etc.
