I just got done watching where the red fern grows with my kids. My daughter who is six was so sweet, she had tears just running down her little cheeks. I came home from work and she could hardly wait to watch the movie after supper. She had borrowed it from the library and was so excited that there was a coonhunting movie. I have to admit that her crying made me cry. I remembered how I felt and how I cried when I read the book as a young boy. Good to know that my daughter can relate to the love that Billy Coleman had for his to Redbones. I sure will always remember and cherish this special evening I shared with my kids. I hope she never loses her tender little heart, and I am grateful to have had this special moment with her that softened my hard heart just a little.

Disney came out with a newer version. Still the same plot and exact story it just has different actors. Great book and great family movie to watch with the kids and wife when u cant go to the woods. If u can find the newer one make sure to watch it. Great great watch. My6&8yo cant watch it enough. My 2yo however loves his "cars 1&2". Either way enjoy every second and soak it up. They grow up way too fast...

I have two small girls one two and a half and a year old the older one is all about me right now and when I go run dogs she always wants to go I take her as much as I can. I am looking forward to when they are a little older so they too can watch this movie I have had it since I was a kid and I watched it alot. Great movie.. The second movie is not as good but still a good movie to watch

first of all,I'd like to say--"Bless her heart". Second of all,I'm 55 yrs. old and I still cry every time I watch it. That movie has a way of reminiscing about some of the good hounds I have been blessed to own every time.It just drags back some old feelings and memories of the time I spent not only in the woods,but also in the yard and everything else.Love the movie.It never gits old.

This morning she was very concerned about the possibility of Shine treeing a lion anywhere we take him. She definately doesn't want us to take him hunting anywhere near Talleqauh. LOL!

But not even able to compare to the book. I also struggled with the desire to read a full book as a kid. I couldn't put this book down. It's about time to blow the dust off the movies and show to my youngest. And let the oldest read it. She loves to read, don't know where that came from. My favorite storyline ever. Happy hunting and good luck treeing that old ghost coon.
