![]() ![]() ![]() Listed below are 10 other popular films that faced similar allegations in the past. "A Dog's Purpose" is just the latest movie to face claims of on-set animal abuse. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures canceled the Los Angeles premiere of "A Dog's Purpose" one day after the video surfaced. The issue made national news again this week when video from the set of the upcoming film "A Dog's Purpose" was released by TMZ, showing a frightened dog being forced to enter rushing water and being submerged before a crew member yelled "Cut!"Īfter the video was released, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - which has argued for computer-animated animals to replace living animals in movies - called for a boycott of the movie, which is slated for release on Jan. Since 1939, the American Humane Association has monitored the treatment of animal actors on sets of thousands of films, giving most of them its famous seal of approval, stating that "No animals were harmed" in the making of the movie. As a final recommendation, sit with your children and watch the movie with them: you will completely enjoy yourself.Animal abuse on the set of Hollywood movies has been a controversial topic for decades. It's a great movie, on a scale of one-to-ten (ten being the highest), I rate this a ten and endorse it. This is something which must be grasped so that children learn to function in society and not apart from it, especially the function of working together to "get what needs to be done, done." The real-life images brought to the screen by this movie mirrored genuine life as it is today: children grasped that this was not "make-believe" or "cartoon-like" and it provided them a working model of how to approach others and how not to approach others. Children comprehend that they have the ability to think clearly when working with others, that not all ideas are feasible (some ideas just don't work to their advantage, but are worth exploring), and that their accomplishment of tasks completion is not based solely upon one individual's desires, but rather, because of the teamwork inherent in the structure of meeting challenges to reach the desired outcome.Īs a mother, my perspective allowed me to view children entertained throughout the length of the movie, then stimulated to talk about what they'd seen, and discuss how they could follow Milo's and Otis' example in their own homes (as well as outside their homes). The movie inf orms children that as members of society they are will successfully reach individual and common goals by working with others to solve problems and issues which come up unexpectedly in life. They must rely upon each other to bring them to their happy ending. It is clear that by Milo and Otis working together as a team they overcome many obstacles in reaching their common goal. ![]() It mesmerized each individual child, and they asked to see it over and over again!Īs an educator, I view the value of this movie as a companion tool to advance the message that although life throws things in one's path, one can accomplish quite a bit if one speaks aloud about what is the problem (defining the issue) and asks for both feedback and help in obtaining resolution of the problem. ![]() This movie held the attention of children as young as two years old and that of children who are reaching adolescence. Thanks for looking at my review of the Adventures of Milo and Otis. ![]()
