Eight Below

We went to the movies yesterday to see "Eight Below", a Walt Disney film based on a true story. We took our two gransons ages 13 and 8 and our son age 35. We all enjoyed it very much, it is a great family movie. You can't help but fall in love with the dogs as they struggle to survive the harsh winter in Antarctica.

You can view a movie trailer here. The story is about a team of sled dogs that were left alone when their owners had to evacuate during a winter storm and were unable to come back for them. We could learn some lessons from these dogs as they work together as a team and help each other survive the cruel Antarctica winter.

The movie is rated PG and it's a great family oriented action/adventure movie. There is one scene that will make you jump out of your seat, so be prepared. I highly recommend seeing "Eight Below".
