Funny and Warm-Hearted

Milo is a cat and Otis is a dog. They are best of friends. They have grown up on the same farm and during a little game of hide and seek Milo hides in a box, but soon it is whisked down the river. Otis in turn follows the box to try and save his buddy. On their adventure they meet other animals, birds and reptiles. Some are certainly more friendly than others.

The film took four years to film which is crazy, but when you see some of the things that director Masanori Hata has captured on film you might guess why. It is very well filmed, but there were claims of animal cruelty during the filming. I am from Ontario, Canada and the version I have seen is 75 minutes. Was a monster hit in Japan when it was released there. Columbia Pictures edited out at least 15 minutes of the film when it was released in english. Most of the scenes of animals being placed in dangerous situations have been removed (if that is what they edited out of the film) other than a few scenes. One that stands out to me is a scene where a cat falls off a cliff. In the end though, in the version I saw I thought it was a great movie and I think I was smiling through out the entire movie.

When the english version was released they needed to find a narrator for the film and I think they made the perfect choice in Dudley Moore. I think he does an awesome job and shows his ability to spin a story while using humour. As long as you can stand someone narrating essentially the entire movie. I can handle Moore doing that for me. The kids and those young at heart should enjoy this classic.

Milo and Otis

I'm surprised that this is a Japanese film. The reworked version in English language is apparently from 1989. "Milo and Otis" is a cute animal film. Another one of the great animal films.

The story is about the friendship of a curious orange tabby kitten named Milo and a mature fawn Pug named Otis. Our small friends live separate adventures and confront separate dangers in a Homeward Bound-like story. During this journey, Otis's aim is to search for Milo, find him and rescue him from potential sticky situations.

The film is narrated in a somewhat unusual way, but this narration proves to be effective and pleasant. The very same narration is made in a semi-comical way in many scenes. Dudley Moore does an interesting narration work.

Following the tradition of the great animal films, this one also offers beautiful landscapes. It's all natural and pure: a farm, green places, mountains, sea, rivers, sand and others. If this really takes place in Japan, then I must say that Japan is a beautiful country, actually more than I ever imagined.

I've already owned two orange tabby cats in the past. One of them was named Tiger because these cats look like tigers in miniature. Little Milo reminds me of these cats.

Milo is cute. As for Otis, he is cute too. Pugs are not gorgeous dogs but they're cute. Plus, they are friendly, fond of people and even of other animals. Also, they've got that sad, worried and tender look on their face.

This should definitely be on Top 250.
