This weekend we decided to go to the movies, something we hadn't done in a long time due to the nature of the movies that have been created lately.  We were pleasantly surprised as we viewed Eight Below
The movie is rated PG but there was nothing objectionalable about it.  The language was clean and I even considered it an opportunity to learn about the Anarctica and dog behavior.  I cried several times and I don't cry easily at movies.  If you're interested in a watching a very good, heartwarming movie with your family, visit the official website by following the link on either the picture or above and watch a short trailer.  I posted a movie synopsis under the picture.  Surprising, this is a Disney movie.  I hope they create more like this!

The fierce Antarctic winter is just setting in when an intrepid team of explorers and scientists on a research mission -- survival guide Jerry Shepard (Paul Walker), his best friend and cartographer Cooper (Jason Biggs) and the rugged geologist Davis (Bruce Greenwood) -- just narrowly escape a fatal accident, thanks to their steadfast team of eight skilled sled dogs. Forced to evacuate, the men must leave the beloved dogs behind in the frozen wilds -- with a promise they will return. But when the storm of the century approaches, cutting off all means of travel, the dogs are stranded. Now, as the intelligent, courageous dogs -- including noble pack leader Maya, rambunctious rebel Shorty and rising young alpha-in-training Max -- fight to make it through the most unforgiving winter on the planet, the heartbroken Jerry is driven to mount a seemingly impossible rescue mission, aided by a beautiful and adventurous bush pilot, Katie (Moon Bloodgood). Held together only by unwavering bonds of friendship, the humans and the dogs alike make a remarkable journey of grit, endurance and belief to find one another again in this spectacular but perilous land.
