Dog of Flanders description
An appreciation for fine art, virtue, and relationships marks this family film set in Europe when Flanders was still Flanders before it was swallowed up by France and Belgium. But parents should be aware that this 95-minute video also features a good dollop of death, beginning with the demise of the hero's mother at the very beginning when he is just a baby. Raised by his impoverished grandfather (Jack Warden), Nello (Jeremy James Kissner) nevertheless finds happiness in the dog he finds left for dead, a neighbor girl who becomes his soul mate, and the talent for drawing he inherits from his mother. He even becomes the protégé of the town's premier painter (Jon Voight). But life holds many bitter lessons for Nello, including the death of his grandfather when he is a teen, betrayal by those he trusts, and his own near-death. Gorgeously shot on location by director and cowriter Kevin Brodie, this movie has many rewards, including, finally, a happy ending. For mature 7-year-olds and up. --Kimberly Heinrichs |

OK for kids
|
| This is a movie for children and, as such, it is OK. There is not much about Peter Paul Rubens in the movie and lots about the dog. The word I would use to describe this film is "Harmless." |
