Favourite animal films

Kes
Finding Nemo
Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Ware Rabbit
Madagascar.

I think 'Over the Hedge' might get on that list too, once I've see it. I have such High-Brow taste in movies

I can't watch animal films.
O nature documentaries.
Or Spring Watch.

I get traumatised far too easily

Can anyone remember the film "When the north wind blows", about a tiger hunter, in siberia who accidently kills a bloke whilst trying to save him from a tiger, he kills the tiger as well but has to go on the run in the wilderness because the mad townsfolk think he's killed the bloke on purpose, meanwhile the dead Tigers mate stalks him.

I believe it may have starred that grizzly adams bloke, not sure though.
I've never been able to get hold of it anywhere.

It wasn't a film but does anyone remember 'Tales from the Riverbank?' Takes me back to my childhood, watching it on my Great Aunt's black and white telly!

Ian, no I am far too young, but I do remember Rag Tag and Bob Tail!
Does anyone remember Old Yellow it may have been called Old Yeller, it was about a Golden retriever or labrador, can't just remember. I do remember it was a Disney film and the dog was bitten by peccaries and it snuffed it because it contracted rabies so I cried. But hey the kids got a new pup and called it Young Yeller or something like that and then I felt a bit better.
PS I was very young, may have still been in the womb at the time that's why I can't remember if labrador or retriever.
PPS On reflection I can't remember if I was that young because my memory is failing now I am getting older! Jon

I have to agree with Mark my favourite would have to be Tarka the Otter, even if it is sad in a few bits

I saw a little bit but then Runty the blue tit came on and I burst out crying at his plight. I hid upstairs the following night and my husband was yelling for me to come back as he had made it from the nest box! But usually I don't watch!
