Viewfinder: Koneko Monogatari/Milo & Otis

by Amber on March 6, 2010

Hello friends! I have just finished watching the Adventures of Milo and Otis and am high on cute.

It’s the tale of a pug, a kitten and the adventures they have. It starts on the farm… but Milo never listens to his mother. Here’s two of my favourite scenes:

Crab Attack

Otis Meets The Fox

Did you know that Milo and Otis is a Japanese made film and was released in English 4 years after the original release? Me neither! Did you know Dudley Moore was the vivacious and hilarious narrator? Not I!

DVD

While there has been some controversy over the use of animal actors in the movie, I still love this romp (and have done since I was 5). It’s a good film to watch from bed while hanging out in your pyjamas. Nostalgia rules.

How did you watch? Download? Old VHS? About a month ago Leon and I were attempting to find it at the rental store to no avail, and I am still craving to see it again, since my mother threw out my VHS copy :(

You can probably buy it on iTunes… Or try Borders. Other than that, there’s various illicit methods; someone has split it into parts and posted it on YouTube

This was my ultimate childhood movie! My dad would put it on for me when there were big thunderstorms.
I guess I know where my love for pugs stems from!
