I purchased this DVD for my neice. She thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a wholesome story that I feel kids and parents will approve.

As a kid, I always thought of Benji as a cool dog who got along with everyone and was very playful. Now as a young adult with a much matured mind, I view the canine from the other side of the picket fence with the hole...
From a professional film making standpoint, I admit the movie is subpar in terms of acting and casting. Throughout much of the film, there are stagnant pauses in speech which, understandably, turns away many a viewer. I know I felt the same way when I saw "Sixth Sense" for the first time. However, the soundtrack, comprised mainly of one song, Charlie Rich's theme "I Feel Love," is a phenomenal addendum to Benji's personality and despite the fact it is played on numerous occasions throughout the film, it is done in different ways every time. Different tone, tempo, and emotion are used in such a way that you actually feel what Benji is thinking. Who needs words when the music can tell the story by itself?
That being said, aside from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, no other film has made me cry as much as this one. About 3/4 through the film at the climax, the camerawork and cinemagic, as I like to call it, force me to fight back the tears (and fail miserably everytime). It is then that I remember why I fell in love with the movie and with dogs. They can feel human emotions and connect with them in a way no other animal can. They are not corruptable like human beings. They are loyal and loving to the bitter end. Watch this movie with an open mind and I guarantee you will be fighting back tears as well.

I grew up watching this movie. And as long as I can remember, it has given me such a comfort throughout my trials medically and emotionally as a child. Although some of the content may "scare" young children, it had more of a positive effect on me. All kids are different so I would reccomend that the parent or guardian watch the movie first before you let your child.
Anyway, watch the movie with an open mind and let you decide yourself if it's worth seeing again. :)

I watched this film last night for the first time since I was a child. Move over, CITIZEN KANE--this film should be number one on AFI's Greatest Films of All Time List! I bawled when little independent Benji was trying to communicate with the police that he knew where the kidnapped children were being held hostage. He worked his furry butt off trying to rescue them!
Especially moving is the scene in which Benji finally figures out how to get the attention of the police and family and makes a mad dash over there. All the while, these flashbacks and connections loop through his canine brain: the bound children, his lady dog friend being kicked by one of the sinister kidnappers, the menace of handguns, etc. This is where I just couldn't stop crying. This movie is more than just a cute kids' film--it's a paean to the loyalty and love of dogs everywhere!
ROCK ON, BENJI!
P.S. Includes an Oscar -worthy performance from Frances Bavier of Aunt Bee (THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW) fame

Ive been a major fan of Benji when i was a child growing up in the 80's and i was so into this movie that it was the only movie i always wanted to watch. this movie is PERFECT for boys and guys cause its a dog movie and its also perfect for kids to enjoy because its a movie thats seen from a animals point of view. Benji is THE most popular dog in the ENTIRE wold. He outstrips Lassie and Rin Tin Tin even Beethoven. Id totally recomend that EVERYONE buy this DVD and any other Benji movie for each one is filled with memorable and enjoyable scenes. youll fall madly in love with this dog ^_^
