Very faithful adaptation of the first of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

Kes

While Old Yeller and The Yearling portrayed a chocolate box idyllic version of the world, Kes couldn't be any more different; a low key British film set in a working class British mining town. The only refuge for the main character, 15 year old Billy Caspar is a chance discovery of a kestrel falcon.

The Lion King

That superb Disney movie that does not feature pets in the least. Humanization of animals in the wild with a touch of Hamlet. Great songs, funny characters, and a memorable story.

Lassie

A touching story of the love between a boy and his dog that helped to begin the Lassie franchise. Few stories better portray the relationship people can have with their pets.

Life of Pi

This movie is just as much about Richard Parker the tiger as it is the indian boy

Old Yeller

A movie that both shows the relationship between a boy and his dog and the feelings of loss one has when a pet passes away. Touching for anyone who has ever lost a pet.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

The ultimate animal and pet movie. The story of two dogs and cat travelling through the wilderness to be reunited with their owners. It portrays pets in human-like way while keeping their animal personalities intact. Adorable and hilarious.
