Inspired by the Japanese movie (released in the United States as ANTARTICA), which was based upon the legal anecdote of a 1958 Japanese expedition, the dependable antecedent of this movie is Egerton R. Young’s favorable record of his dogsled team, first published in 1902. This was the first book to detail the different personalities among dogs and the first to picture their work ethic and sense of responsibility.

Jack London acknowledged his debt to Egerton Young’s memoirs (among other sources) which he took to craft the dogsled team in THE CALL OF THE WILD, something missing in the various incarnations of the modern on film. EIGHT BELOW captures the right intelligence of siberian huskies (well, two of them are malamutes) better than any movie I’ve ever seen. Distinct, this is unprejudiced a movie and tricks were faded to do it appear that these dogs do what they seem to do. But huskies do smile, laugh, danger, believe, and bond–and if you don’t agree, then you fair don’t know them.
Yes, there are some sentimental and maudlin moments in this film, but there is also a sense of naturalism and a declaration of personal responsibility. An adventure film that is rare and welcome and worth seeing again.

The musical accept is pleasing and nicely edited to fit the mood of each scene, ambient but not overwhelming. Both humans and dogs are underplayed, and it struck me as a movie for adults who can employ their imagination to maintain in the gaps in understated dialogue and character development. The beauty of the scenery is often breathtaking.
It was a nice touch that one of the dogs, the oldest, is named Jack, and one is named Buck. Buck was also the name of the protagonist in THE CALL OF THE WILD and Jack was the name of Egerton Young’s staunch dog upon which Buck was based. Of course it may be honest a coincidence.
The other dogs include the twins, Truman and Dewey (a Democrat and a Republican), Shorty, Max, Shadow, and sweet Maya, the lead dog. Dog people will have no pain distinguishing between them.
Those who appreciate this film might be also keen in Egerton Young’s MY DOGS OF THE NORTHLAND, Jack London’s THE CALL OF THE WILD, edited and annotated by Daniel Dyer, and Gary Paulsen’s WINTERDANCE: THE Elegant MADNESS OF RUNNING THE IDITAROD.
This is an grand family movie about an Antartica adventure. Although Jason Biggs of American Pie is in it, this time he’s the usual goofball but without any humdrum humor and not one unpleasant word anywhere in the film. It’s kindly family entertainment. The yarn is about a scientific post in Antartica that uses eight Huskies to pick up around with selds in the snow-barren wilderness of the South Pole. Pains starts for the dogs when Winter arrives early and the dogs have to survive by themselves which is documented in the film as is also the human aspect of leaving the dogs slow to fight for themselves. The scenery and photography is breathtaking and it is a well-made Disney movie. It is based on a apt memoir and that makes it even more lively. Don’t compare this film to Snow Dogs as this film is not a comedy and the place, storyline and premise are completely different. Aside from the dogs as heros, Paul Walker plays the human hero and he plays the role of an expedition guide very believably. Some concepts of the human psyche which may have been intended to be communicated in this flick, clearly miss the imprint as these are not communicated, but it doesn’t matter … it’s a shipshape family movie which the juniors as well as dog lovers will really savor and bask in. Also, a lot about the behavior and kindness/faithfulness of the four-legged friends is shown. My wife liked this film very mighty and she said the DVD once released is a sure bewitch. Although this movie is two hours long and there are some tiring, passages, the two hours don’t seem like two hours at all. This film is about a very valid adventure and it’s well worth watching it.
