If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

"Koneko Monogatari" was a childhood favourite of mine. I LOVED Chatran and went through all kind of emotions alongside him and his friends everytime I watched this movie as a young child. I was told by adults at the time that it was just a movie and no kitten, dog nor any animal actually suffered. But they didn't knew the truth. All those sweet memories are now permanently damaged by the truth: several kittens died while playing "Chatran" and some pugs may have died too. Now as a grown up is kind of obvious the animal abuse, even if no animal would have died. Anyways, I'm glad I get to know the truth, even if it breaks my heart. CGI is, to me, the only way to portray animals in distress in current times. I'm conflicted about the rating I'm giving, because I loved this movie so much for years, but I can't stand animal abuse. My rating should be lower, I'm sorry.

I hate when people review a film without making any researches about it. In the 80s, there was basically no laws to protect animals. A lot of newspapers at the time reported the atrocities that the animals had to endure during this shooting, well,the ones who could survive. About 30 kittens were killed during the shooting and the most terrible thing is that most of them were killed deliberately. The famous scene when Chartran (Milo or Otis, in french the kitten name is Chartran) falls from a high cliff needed many kittens, one for each take...there's also all those terrible stuff about the little bear and the dog. The Columbia refused at that time to put in the credits that no animals were harmed during the shooting. A lot of viewers were in shock after the screening cause obviously, a film like that without any FX could had not been shot without cruelty. Chartran was not a kitten but tens of them... Boycott that piece of s...! It's not a cute film for all ages, it's a snuff for kids, a HUGE mass grave that should be remembered only for all the atrocities it has done to those unwilling animals.

well this is a about a dog and a cat named Milo and Otis that go on a adventure together and going through danger and these to animal's are very cunning because they find there way back to the farm. also i would rec-amend this film to other's and i think it should be aired on TV. also this film has lot of interesting floora and funa for the different seen's in the movie and different part of film also Dudley more did a great job narating this movie and the music is good.i think this movie should be given a chance in the grammar's and auscar's in real life present day because i think the producer and the cast deserves some recension for this film.lol me great film i don't no if Hollywood could top this film if they made a another one.

Throwing kittens off a cliff for entertainment? I couldn't believe my eyes. Shocking. I wonder how many cats died making that particular shot. The animal abuse in this movie is so apparent, it's amazing this got aired at all.My girlfriend and me tried to watch this, hoping for a sweet movie; we own a pug and kitten, we did not know what was in store for us. The rest of the night we will spend comforting our pets, they are in a state of shock!I would love to put the people making money of this through the same horrors they put the animals through. Great movie if you hate cats.article about the animal abuse in this movie: http://theculturalgutter.com/movies-2/is_milo_in_heaven_mommy.html
