I just picked this up from the library. Both my son and I recently read the book, so we're really looking forward to watching this.

Plot Synopsis: Where the Red Fern Grows is the heartwarming and adventurous tale for all ages about a young boy and his quest for his own red-bone hound hunting dogs. Set in the Ozark Mountains during the Great Depression, Billy Coleman works hard and saves his earnings for 2 years to achieve his dream of buying two coonhound pups. He develops a new trust in God as he faces overwhelming challenges in adventure and tragedy roaming the river bottoms of Cherokee country with "Old Dan" and "Little Ann." The movie follows the inseparable trio as they romp relentlessly through the Ozarks, trying to tree the elusive "Ghost" raccoon. Their efforts prove victorious as they win the coveted gold cup in the annual coon-hunt contest, capture wily ghost coons and bravely fight a mountain lion. Through these adventures Billy realizes the meaning of true friendship, loyalty, integrity and heroics, in this timeless and poignant coming of age story.

The last time you were in the library they probably still had card catalogs.
Seriously, the Scottsdale library rocks. I’ve watched about 500 movies over the last few years for free. They have everything from Gladiator to Requiem for a Dream to Metropolis.
I just watched it. This is an awesome story and the book is great. I would really like to see this turned into a “real” movie. My son and I (both of us read the book) were disappointed in this movie. They butchered the book pretty bad.
We have two yellow labs. The male (Rosco) is a huge guy. He goes about 110 pounds. He’s not the brightest rock in the river, but he is very loyal. Our female (Daisy) is pretty small. She goes about 70 pounds. She is very quick and clever.
If you’ve read the book, you’ll understand why we were so into this book.

I've always loved both the book & the movie. I saw the movie first as a kid; if I had been in reverse order I could see myself not liking the movie as much. Growing up, my parents' best friends were named Dan & Ann. I adored both of them. I always wondered if I would have thought as much of them if I hadn't loved the book/movie so much.
