A movie with a filming history worthy of sitting next to the case of the bat's head being bitten off at an Ozzy Ozbourne concert. The singer beheaded the animal by mistake, but more than twenty kittens died on the set of “Milo and Otis” for the sake of beautiful shots and fees, and one of the kids had his leg deliberately broken so that the hero’s gait on the screen would be believable. The official investigation didn't confirm any of this, but in this movie, a little kitten meets a fox, owls, a raccoon, a bear and seagulls, and all this without special effects - there was plenty of reason for animal rights activists to wince.
But if you believe in the honesty and humanity of the filmmakers, then this family-friendly, kind film can be watched with children and left delighted. The plot is dedicated to the big adventure of the kitten Milo through the forest and farms, and how the pug puppy Otis tries to save his purring friend from danger.
