Summary: Best Friends
Review: The Adventures of Milo and Otis is one of my favorite movies. I like it because it is about animals, and I like animals. Well, a cat named Milo meets a dog named Otis, and weird enogh become best friends. Their favorite game is Hide'n Seek. Milo finds a box in the river, jumps in and floats away. Otis tries to save him but just them farther and farther down stream. So with that, an adventure begins. You should go out and watch this movie, because it's great!!!

Summary: Cute litle movie with adorable animals in it!
Review: Want to watch a cutesy little movie that never pretends to be pretentious or boring; then watch The Adventures of Milo & Otis VHS ~ Shigeru Tsuyuguchi. It is a tale about curious kitten and his friend, the pug-nosed puppy whose name is Otis and tells of a; their adventures that they have together. The dialogue between the animals is hilarious and I especially like all the weirdo British terms that are used throughout the movie. It is an absolute must have for anyone whom loves animal movies; I bought for my fiancé, as a silly little gift and she absolutely loved it. My final word is that it gets two paws up for =being a fun and entertaining movie.

Summary: The story of a cat and dog friendship
Review: This is a movie portraying the special friendship of a cat, Milo, and a dog, Otis, which stays true from when they a puppy and kitten until the very end. Milo is a mischievious cat who is always getting into some sort of trouble, and Otis is the brave pug who is always there to look after Milo. The adventures of Milo eventually lead to separation between the two, and Otis is there to find and rescue him. Milo's everlasting confidence and Otis's continually worried expression contribute to the movie as well. And we can learn a lesson about friendship from Milo and Otis; true friends stick together and help each other out through thick and thin.As a child, I enjoyed this movie and found it very entertaining. I was sad when the two friends were separated so long, but there were lots of hilarious episodes that balanced things out. As one reviewer pointed out, the fact that there are no humans in the movie makes it more attractive to kids, and probably adults too. One concern of several viewers is the possibility of animal abuse which decreases the quality of the movie. It says somewhere though that the animals were well supervised, which is reassuring. As for the chance of casualties, perhaps the animals were slightly injured at one time or another, but I don't believe any died. That's a little extreme. How is it possible to find more than one identical cat like Milo or dog like Otis that is the same in looks and brains. My family has had four pugs over the last 25 or so years, and there are definite distinctions between them. The colouring, build, features, and especially the wrinkles are different in them all. So I think the abuse part of it is nothing to be so concerned about unless you're an extreme protester against animal abuse who blows up every chance of abuse to a monumental size. I certainly didn't feel like throwing my grandparent's cat off the roof or making my dog copy Otis after watching the movie. If anything, it creates a tighter bond between a child and their pet. If you enjoy animals, adventure, and laughing, you'll probably like Milo and Otis.

Summary: What can one make of this?
Review: Gotta tell ya, even as a meat loving, annoyed with PETA regular guy, I found this movie pretty distressing. I would put the animal casualty count at 4 dead and 5 wounded/maimed. If your kids love this flick when they are 3 or 4 years old you'd best have a little talk with them because sure as heck they will be throwing cats off the roof to test the "land on their feet" saying when they are 10.

Summary: If animal abuse disturbs you, then close your eyes to watch.
Review: Not having the fantesy imagination of a child, I watched this movie feeling very disturbed by the prominent animal abuse thoughout it. I saw nothing "cute" about a kitten getting bit on the lip by a crab, or floating down a river in a box and over a waterfall, with a look of dispair. Not to mention the puppy being "forced" to fight a black bear. There was no "trick photography" to this movie. What you see is what you get. I had to shut it off half way through. I couldn't deal with it. I would not consider this family entertainment!

Summary: Milo And Otis
Review: A really fantastic movie. Hilarious. The fact that it was filmed and pulled off in such a way as to seem as though the animals are thinking the things that are being narrated, is impressive. And makes for some great watching. I am 17, and I love B horror movies, independent film, and...Milo and Otis. I believe it truly is universal. Anyone with the slightest bit of inner child in them can appreciate this film.

Summary: Son liked it more than MI2.
Review: All the action and drama of Mission Impossible 2 did not measure up to my 10-year-old son's absolute love and delight of this movie. I loved it too and it's so nice to have a film to share at his age. (He thinks the talking pig, whom I love, is too babyish.) However, I give it four stars because he was left thinking it was a sad movie. I'm not sure why, but it may have to do with his question throughout the film, "Will it say at the end 'No animals have been hurt' in making this film.'?" I didn't see that notice. Also, he loved the animals so much I was forced to lie to him when he asked me for the release date of the film. Okay, criticize my parenting if you must but he is a very sensitive boy and wanted to believe those very same animals are still alive and well. Thank you to the reviewer that mentioned the whole film was shot in Japan. I didn't see that in the end credits either. I would have guessed Canada. What a wonderful, warm and innocent (sort of) film.

Summary: Entertaining and good natured despite controversy
Review: Despite the fact that they threw the cat in the river, had about hundred birds peck wildly at him, chucked him off a cliff and other inhumane things and what not that caused so much controversy, this remains a good film. The film, which originally was meant for a Japanese(!) audience, was well crafted into a upbeat American feature with a fantastic narration by Dudley Moore.

Summary: Cruelty to animals is not "cute"
Review: This movie involves tossing a cat off a cliff into the ocean--where it presumably swims to shore--putting a cat in a box and sending it down a river and over a waterfall, pitting a cat against a bear, which later falls from a branch quite a ways to the ground. It seems the many reviewers who liked this movie don't empathize with the animal actors who (against their wills) are forced to do things that clearly terrify them. This is cruel spectacle, not wholesome entertainment.
