Dove Review

This family film showcases Grizzly Adams as a caring father and loyal friend. Grizzly Adams’s sister has died and he comes down from the mountains, along with his friend Ben the bear, to claim his daughter before she is sent to an orphanage.

He faces forest fires, tornadoes, and has to run for his life from a man who wants to kill him.

The themes of this delightful movie include loyalty, friendship, devotion to family and survival. We are more than pleased to award five Doves to this movie, our best rating, and recommend it for all ages. There are only a few tense scenes and parents should consult the content chart. It is a wholesome movie which should entertain the entire family.
