Anyone seen "The Adventures of Milo & Otis"? I haven't, and... I'm relieved. Because the sheer amount of horror and guilt I would've felt if it had been a nostalgic favorite would've been staggering. I clicked the review expecting a simple forgettable cutesy-type film. Alas... I think we've got animal snuff on our hands. FOR KIDS!!1!1!11

"The animals used were filmed under strict supervision with the utmost concern for their handling."

It's no "Cannibal Holocaust" but when you've got scenes like a kitten being thrown off a cliff, a kitten struggling up said cliff and constantly crashing into the rocks and water, and a pug pitted against a bear, and you consider the fact this is not CGI'd/puppeteered/etc., it makes it uncomfortable to watch.

While there's no evidence to prove there actually was animal cruelty and murder, there's still that... possibility, and I don't think I can ever separate this film from the rumors. Just... ick. :(

Oh man, I saw that movie when I was a kid and remember thinking it was so cute. Years later I checked the wikipedia article and found out about the animal cruelty allegations. D: Suddenly it aint so cute anymore.
