Surprisingly old-fashioned remake of the family classic has a lot to offer. The dog hero is lovable, the human characters are memorable, and the story is well-written. Visually, it never really rises above TV-movie level, but this is a movie with a lot of heart, and is a delightful family film. Highly recommended.
