Benji the Hunted

1 of my favorite movies as a kid (lassie who)Benji was awesome and now as a father I can share him with my kids (if I can get there faces out of there damn phones long enough to watch a movie)

If you are looking for a wholesome family movie this is a movie to buy. It is bout a cute little dog that gets shipwrecked and his owner tries to find him. But when Benji finds some orphaned baby mountain lions he has to make a decision is he going to help these babies or is he going to leave them to fend for themselves so he can be with his owner. Benji decides to help these little ones and he finds it isn't as easy as he thought it would be. This movie will have you cheering for Benji and the cubs the whole way thru it.

This is a childhood favorite movie of mine. I bought it because it brings back fond memories and also because my cat loves watching animals on tv and i thought itd be a good movie to keep her entertained. She loved the whole movie except for the bear scene; which it's good to have a healthy fear of bears. I love how there is little human interaction and getting to watch the different types of animals on the screen. The music is very 80s which also brings back childhood memories. Cat and human approved.

My children loved this when they were little (I loved watching it with them). Now I have a 3 year old granddaughter who bores easily with TV but she LOVED this movie and requested to watch it again (I don't let her watch that much TV, but unusual for her to request a movie twice in the same day!). I found myself loving the movie even more now that I am getting older. The minimal talking I think is what gives this movie more magic and lets children imagine what is going through the animals' minds more. It has a sad beginning but necessary for the plot--overall this is just a wonderful movie--one of the best ever made.

This movie is OK I would give it to three because this song in the background was very very extra repetitive it kind a got annoying but I was still able to sit through the movie that song in the background cost of the review two stars

Not very family friendly for a 3 yr old who loves Benji. Some pretty intense moments.

the movie of my childhood! My kids didn't really love it lol but I did!

Sweet little dog. Gentle humor. Appropriate for family viewing. Gave to child who loves animal movies. He was delighted. Great for 4-7 year olds. Okay for younger ones, ones, but they get bored during some scenes.

Ok...with some people here recommending this is a great family film others implying it is anything but, I guess it could be very confusing for anyone who has not seen the film to decide. Hopefully this will help.....Overall this is a really sweet film, well acted by the animals (and few people), it might sound silly but I don't think I've seen any other animal actor with such an expressive face as either Higgins or Benjean, the original Benji and his daughter respectively -the latter of whom is the star of this film. Since the focus is on the animals there is very little dialogue, and I think it says a lot for the film that you don't really miss it. The storyline speaks for itself.I watched this film as a child and loved it, my grandfather even taped it for me and I eventually wore the tape out, but then I also preferred wildlife documentaries over most childrens cartoons from a very young age too......Yes this film sad in places, but has it's sweet and heartwarming moments too, some chase scenes to add some action, and the film ends on a beautiful and happy note for everyone.Personally I really like this film, even now as an adult, and loved it as a child, but not everyones the same and others have obviously reacted very differently. If you are still undecided I guess the only advice is to maybe rent the film and view it for yourself first, that way you can judge for yourself before showing it to your children and easily return it if you feel it isn't suitable for them.

This dvd is the most beautiful and heartbreaking dvd there is in the world and if you havent seen it you must buy it. Its all i am going to say for now because i dont want to tell to much about the story but i loved it as a child and bought it for my child Who keeps watching it over again. Going to buy the other dvds of benji soon.

Bought for my daughter (39) she loved this film as a child and we have been looking for it for years. Finally found and she loves it.

Bought at the request of a friend.

WHAT A WELL MADE FILM, THE SCENES AND THE LOCATIONS WERE MADE VERY WELL,AND THE WAY 'BENJI' TOOK ON THE ROLE OF FOSTER MOTHER TO THESE LITTLECOUGAR CUBS WAS SO REAL. IF THEY GAVE AN 'OSCAR' TO ANIMAL STARS THEN IKNOW THAT 'BENJI' WOULD GET ONE, HE IS SUCH AN APPEALING DOG, AND I WOULDWATCH MORE OF HIS FILMS.... GOOD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT, WELL DONE 'BENJI'.

I first this film in the Sky movie Disney channel & I saw "wow what an amazing movie" and it make me "aww". So that is why I want to buy this movie and I'll keep it forever!!! Looking forward to receiving this movie.

Great film. Our region pal 2 lovely film

Excellent condition . lovely film for soft hearted children or even adults!

A true classic from my childhood that my 3yr old twin boys enjoyed for the 1st time x

WHEN LIKE ME YOU ARE A DOG LOVER THE ADVENTURES OF THIS ADORABLE LITTLE BALL OF FUR IS REALLY HAERTWARMING. A MUST SEE FOR THOSE WHO LIKE ME ARE SOMETIMES BORED OF HUMAN BEINGS.

My son loved this film, it's a bit sad but sweet. Good for family viewing. Definitely in his top ten movies.
