Summary: Family Favorite
Review: Milo and Otis is an enduring favorite in my family. I still love it and sometimes watch it even when none of the children are around. Last month I introduced Milo and Otis to my 2-year old nephew, and he absolutely loved it. Forget cartoons, forget Disney, all he wants to watch is "the cat and the dog movie", as he calls it.

Summary: A great adventure
Review: A friend gave me this film for my 21/2 to watch. Not being into animal films I put the video on the shelf. About a month later my son found it & put it on. I was instantly involved. I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner. It is not your typical heart-warming animal film (although it IS heart-warming). It is excitement from beginning to end. There is a huge variety of animal featured in this film so if nothing else it is a great way to introduce kids to all kinds of animals. I found myself yelling out & getting involved with the numerous adventures Milo & Otis find themselves in. The narration
is fun & doesn't take away from the animals at all. A real adventure film that IS cute without being cutsie.

Summary: Ignore the negative reviews for this film
Review: Ignore the sour people who give this film negatives reviews;They have never learned to laugh or take things lightly.Lighten up,people!This film is NOT to be taken seriously!The so-called"abuse"scenes are fake.If your kid(s)are worried about the "abuse"scenes,explain to them that it's all fake.The animals are well-trained,the scenery is beautiful,and the storyline is well-written.This is a great alternative to so-called "family-films"like "Problem Child".

Review: I liked this movie because the narrator does a really great job with all the voices. All the animals were great actors and the music was excellent too.

Summary: Big hit with MY 2 year old!
Review:
Milo & Otis is a charming, if juvenile (it's supposed to be) movie about a long journey, and curious encounters undertaken by two friends - a cat and a dog.
The scenery and cinemetography are wonderful - even spellbinding, but nowhere in the credits does it say where it is filmed. If it's Japan, then Japan has a wonderfully northwestern European look to it. The "river" looks so cool and refreshing that I often wondered how refreshing a drink from it might be.
Beautiful scenery aside, it's obvious to the adults that most of it is contrived. There really aren't any farms anymore that have "all the animals." And let's face it, a sea turtle just doesn't "stop by" to let a dog ride on it's back. But again, in the child's perpective, it's wonderfully casual.
For the adults, Duddly Moore's narration is a bit annoying sometimes, but it is, after all, directed at kids. My two year old insists on watching it at least twice a day (for now - past obsessions include Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life), so I suppose it worked as planned, and I've sat through it at least four or five times myself.
One other reviewer mentioned the possible animal abuse. The film credits do indeed say that the animals were closely supervised, but that didn't stop them from being their own, unwitting "stunt men." I don't think anything amounted to animal abuse, and I certainly don't think any died. Although they pushed the limits by throwing a cat off a small cliff into the sea! It wasn't harmed, and the cat swam to shore and shook it off pretty easily. Still...
Parents will see the bittersweet nature of the ending. Sure, Milo & Otis go home. But they never "go home." Who can? By the end of the movie, their happy childhood is spent, so even getting back to the farm will not restore them to their first innocence.
But this is all happily lost on the young child who sees only the magical journey and many strange encounters of Milo & Otis; two friends - a cat and a dog.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful
Review: I saw this movie several times throughout my childhood, and I still have warm regards for "The Adventures of Milo & Otis." I got my first pug at age 5, and then it was quite exciting for me to see a film with a pug as the hero. I was in the hospital for an operation when I was 13. After the surgery, I woke up in the middle of the night and the nurse asked me if I'd like to watch a video. I scanned the list and sure enough, there was "Milo & Otis." I may have fallen back asleep towards the end, but it was a very comforting film to watch. It reminded me of home and my three little pugs waiting there for me. "The Adventures of Milo & Otis" is a cute, well-done, wonderful movie. A great family film that even adults will enjoy. :)

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: It is not every day that the children have nice heart-warming movies that teach them loyalty and friendship. My 7 yr old loves this movie, as does my 2 yr old. (Animals seem to attract all ages of children, even though the little guy doesn't understand the story yet). This definitely ranks way above Pokemon!

Summary: Cute film, annoying narration
Review: Milo and Otis might be annoying for there not being any talking, besides the narrator who speaks throughout the entire film (!), but it's still fun to watch. I have to give them credit for the narration, instead of having the animals ACTUALLY talking (like in other films). It adds more to the realism, and seems more like a story being told. But anyway, it's fun to see the animals go their ways and make friends. Overall, it's a delightful movie and a cool DVD.
