The best live action (P)G-rated movie I've seen lately...
It's PG-rated, but I can't recall one curse word in the movie. There is some poor CG killer-seal violence which might be scary to toddlers (yet laughable to adults).
As a fan of many R-rated and NC-17 movies, I can say, without embarrassment, that Eight Below is a masterpiece of G-rated cinema. The topic, plot, cinematography, music, and acting (including the dogs) are all engaging, and simply don't require inclusion of sex or violence into the plot-line. Highly recommended.
We need more movies like this.
