a truly wonderful and move film . the journey of natty gunn fit that description like a glove . set during the depression and this be like homeward bound but with people . the result be a beautiful and harrowing and poignant and lovely film that be criminally underrated and for it be by far one of the good disney live action film . the attention to detail be stagger and i mean the set be superb and the costume be lovely . the music be haunt and pleasant and the script be well above average . there be also enough action to satisfy kid and adult and and the film be effective especially in convey the harsh reality of child live in the depression . the performance be also astound . meredith salenger be absolutely fantastic in the title role and completely believable and even heart rending and i be lose for word at how she hasn not go on to be a major star and for her performance show that she really could act and which could more than be say for some of the actress work today . john cusack be also impressive a the drifter who try to convince natty that the open road be no place for a young girl . the wolf feature here be very cute too and and ray wise be great . in conclusion and this be a pretty darn good film . positive bethany cox .
