I have issues with most animal movies. If they're not killing off the animal to "teach kids about death", then they're feeding cats milk and showing the hero dog with its puppies at the end of the movie. Drives me insane!
Cartoon-wise, Balto is the best. Even my shepherd-lab and Akita watched it all the way through (OK, as soon as Balto started getting hugged by the little girl, the Akita got up off the couch and left...).
The first K-9 with Jim Belushi was good. The second one ended with the litter of puppies, but the first one was well done. After that, Belushi actually became enamoured with shepherd.
Hatchi with Richard Gere was good. They look a lot of liberties with the true story, but they did well with the dog.
I find that's the hardest part - movies and TV tend to make caricatures of the animals. Few let the animals be true to their realities.
Oh, the first Incredible Journey is wonderful. The remakes don't hold a candle to it.
