Leave your thoughts about Lassie.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerNone of Lassie's adventures is told with the least bit of subtlety, but seeing as how the movie is aimed at the peewee, dog-loving set, few members of the target audience are likely to complain. |
| Arizona RepublicKathy Cano MurilloLassie proves to be top dog in her latest feature film. |
| Dallas Morning NewsNancy Churnin...The collie that became a star back in 1943 can still make you cry and cheer in the all-new Lassie. |

| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerLassie is a thoroughly enjoyable family film of the sort that they really don't make anymore. However, be warned, if you take young children to see this you may find yourself getting a border collie for Christmas. |

| Detroit NewsTom LongYou know people keep saying 'they don't make movies like that anymore'? Well, in the case of Lassie, they have. And they've made it well. |
