Based on the Classic novel by Jack London, Call of the Wild stakes its claim to being that rare breed of adventure series that parents and kids can enjoy together. Adapted by White Fang screenwriter David Fallon and starring Nick Mancuso, this exciting saga introduces Miles Challenger (Shane Meier) a 15-year old boy living in an Alaskan mining town at the turn of the century, whose whole life changes forever when he encounters a heroic and powerful dog named Buck.

Pretty good! But...wheres the rest?
This movie ended with to many "loose ends". The overall movie was pretty well done. I wondered why they did not answer some of the questions in this movie until I looked it up and found out that this was part of a thirteen episode TV series that aired on Animal Planet in 2000. This movie was episode 5 in the series. I have only been able to find two of these on DVD. I would like to find the rest.

Not Jack London's Version
Despite having his name over the title, this is not Jack London's Call of the Wild. This is a completely original story about a young man named Miles Challenger--not a character in the original book. The script incorporates characters and incidents from the book, but the story is totally different. However, taken on its own merits, the film is entertaining. Miles is a character young people can relate to, and the film does offer an interesting look at life up north during the Alaska gold rush. Just don't expect Jack London's story, or you will be disappointed.

Leaves you wanting more
This is a very enjoyable continuation of The Call of the Wild dvd with Shane Meier. While not a true telling of the London novel these are both very good enjoyable tales for any dog lover. The biggest drawback is the ending of Foxfire makes you say "that's it? that's the end?". My husband and I were both left wanting to see more of this shortlived Animal Planet tv show. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find any dvds of the program that apparently ran from March of 2000 to June of 2000.

Well done!
This movie was part of a thirteen episode TV series that aired on Animal Planet in 2000. I think this movie was episode 1 in the series. I have only been able to find two of these on DVD, the other being #5. I would like to find the rest.

Perfect for the part
Call of the Wild: I was impressed with the dog he was so big and husky. Perfect for the part. Good wholesome movie.

How to love a dog.
I love dog stories, because I've never had a large dog that gave me more love and company. I'll probably purchase many more from you. Thank you for making them available.

Call of the Wild
Jack London certainly knows how to write a book with heart felt love and loyalty. Now to see it as a movie, what outstanding viewing this was. Get the tissues.

Worthy sequel!
This is not as bad as it sounds.I don't think they made a novel of a sequel but I think they pulled it off pretty well.This time Buck has a new owner and it takes place sometime after the original.I think fans of the original will adore it.

call of the wild
if this is the nearest film to the book as described in the sales, then I would hate to watch the other attempts.
