This movie was excellent but for those with small sensitive children, not such a great idea. My sister, my mother and I took my 10yr old niece this weekend thinking "We love dogs. This movie should be prefect and it's Disney."... Full review

The story ends on a happy note after 90 minutes of sadness. My kids are 5,7 and 9 and the smallest was really sad for the "doggies" throughout and the death of one of the dogs was highlighted at the end... Full review

ranks with the best of classic Disney films.....Animal lovers everywhere will absolutely adore this movie.....The animals' mesmerizing story is alternately sad, uplifting, funny and terrifying.....Paul Walker, usually the epitome of blandness, turns in one of his better performances as Gerry Shepherd, an Antarctic dogsled driver..... ...

Moon Bloodgood is sweet and likeable, while Bruce Greenwood turns in an economical but full characterisation as the geologist. Animal lovers, and anyone with a pet, will heave sobs as the story unfolds, but the saving cinematic grace of a film like this is its storytelling skills. ... Full Review

When casting Eight Below, a family friendly adventure about the loyal bond between man and dog, a big challenge no doubt faced by the filmmakers, was to find an actor who could hold his own beside the eight scene stealing huskies. Paul Walker is excellent as the survival guide with a soft heart for his dogs, and Jason Biggs is surprisingly entertaining as the loose cannon side kick. ... Full Review

The huskies are the most amazing performers and their story is truly heroic. You know, if too many of those dogs had to die, I'm sorry, you're going to have a really unhappy family outing. The comic relief from Jason Biggs is embarrassingly bad. ... Full Review
