This film is not a good film and yet it is hard to give it anything lower than a mediocre score because there are some amusing moments. Yes, the talking dog story is unoriginal and in this case it's all done telepathically to avoid having to use primitive 90s CGI. Yes the plot is emphatically awful. Yes, the bad guys are appalling stereotypes of these sorts of films, and then turned up to 11 in an effort to pretend it's not just to pay the bills.
But above all that, respect it was made in the early 90s and Lassie and the Littlest Hobo have been and gone, and appreciate that talking dogs still work for kids, even today.
Adult score: 3/5
Child score: 5/5
