Went and saw "Call of the Wild" this weekend with my sweetie. It's been over 40 years since I read the book. I must say, although there were per force significant changes from book to movie. However I feel the spirit of the original work is well served by this movie. The human actors did an excellent job. This was expected considering who they are. The really unexpected thing was the reality of the CGI animals. "Buck", the star of the film, was amazingly rendered with pathos and comedy and passion. All the animals were well done. I found the film exciting and touching, as did most of the other attendees. I'm sure producers will be in line at the Academy Awards.
