First time I've mentioned it, as far as I can remember. Maybe I just don't think about booze as much as some...

That he was the lecherous inbred his own initials spelt. I believe he saw MoH in a dog's playground, looking randy and whippy.

I well up all the time but the only film that makes me cry properly is Spirited Away, and it's not even sad really.

Trivia: One thread that connects all the Lassie projects is Lassie herself. Every one of the long string of Lassie productions has featured a collie directly descended from the original canine star, a dog named Pal. The new film was made with 8-year-old Lassie the ninth, and three other non-related collies, whose biggest challenge were in scenes swimming across Loch Ness on her way home. "They weren't bred to be water dogs, who have more webbing between their feet and more fat on their body to insulate them for the water," said trainer Carol Riggins, who has steered the Lassie stable through Lassies seven, eight and nine. "Collies don't have that. When you put them in the water, as soon as they get wet to the skin you have to take them out and you have to blow dry them before you can do the rest of the scene. When they get in the water they get cold and their muscles don't work as well." (more)
Goofs: Anachronisms: The steam train has a British Railways logo on the tender, but British Railways didn't come into existence until after the war, certainly not before or during the war, the period in which the film is set. (more)

Great inspirational movie!, 5 September 2006
Author: jimreed from Upland, California
Outstanding movie! Story well told.
If anyone in Europe has seen this film, do you know whether that was an Irish or Scottish blessing that the owner of the dog Toots said while his dog was dying. Something like "If life has blessings to spare, may God grant them to you now." Does anyone know the exact words? Thanks much. Highly recommend this movie to families. I had originally thought that the movie was based on the Timmy and Lassie series on television here in the USA. I was surprised because I didn't know the original story and Man of Harvey's and Les Biehn told me it was shit but I'm so glad that I took the time to see the film. The characters are played by excellent actors and the sound track is very inspirational as well.

How much could she have got for them anyway? It's not like are rare, or gain in value. Best to give them away.
