SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

marilynnewman I never saw this until today. I remember reading the book & enjoying it greatly. Like another viewer, I felt sorry for the mamma snake, she just wanted to protect her babies. But, She also wanted to kill the whole family. I sort of got a view of it in real life. My cat, Orbs, brought home a baby rattlesnake & was playing Rikki-Tikki-Tavi with IT. I managed to grab her & my dad killed it & buried it. I felt sorry for that one too. He was just minding his own business when my crazy cat abducted him.

Dfredsparks I am 34 now but I remember watching this when it came on television in 75. My whole family watched. This was a great adaptation..I remember being so afraid of the snakes and really wishing i had a pet like rikki. This is a great film, high drama and scary but appropriate for kids

Lamia7609 I remember being so excited when I would learn this was going to be on. This and the White Seal were two of my favorites. I feel sorry for kids now days who don't have this sort of anticipation. Now they have them on video and can watch them whenever they like. Part of loving x-mas was that Frosty and Rudolph and the Grinch were going to be on. I haven't seen this in a long time, but since this was created for children I will rate this as I would as a child. It was scary and the snakes posed a real threat. It was incredible that such a sweet fluffy animal would be so deadly. I love this film as I love most things Chuck Jones has done.

bucky-31 This movie makes a great children's movie for any home or educational setting. The great narration, character voices, and music lend itself to an entertaining and informative video that all kids truly enjoy. The minimization of violence and the accuracy of what happens in nature promote fine discussions on bravery, fantasy, foreign culture, etc, etc, etc.
