Amazon.com
Rereleased on video 30 years after its initial release, this classic Disney movie about a motherless cougar looks great, if not quite perfect. Originally filmed in 1967 in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the scenery and wildlife are absolutely spectacular. The story is somewhat formulaic, but entertaining just the same. A forester named Jess adopts an abandoned cougar he names Charlie, nursing him from an eyedropper and enduring many sleepless nights in the process. As Charlie grows, he's a fixture in the local logging community, where mischief abounds and laughs are plentiful. When Charlie enters his teenage years, his natural curiosity and playfulness begin to hinder the logging process, and Jess is forced to release his beloved friend. Highlights include several comic chase scenes between Charlie and a terrier named Chainsaw, an amazing logrolling sequence in which Charlie shows off some fancy footwork, and a toboggan ride that Charlie and his viewers will remember for a long time. All in all, this 75-minute adventure-comedy is perfect for the whole family. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Description
Lost, abandoned, and frightened, a young cougar is discovered and "adopted" by a rugged lumberman named Jess Bradley (Ron Brown). Dubbed "Good Time Charlie," the cat soon lives a carefree, domestic life among the rugged logging camps of the Pacific Northwest. But Charlie is torn between this unusual way of life and his true wildlife instincts ... instincts that create friction and fear with the men of the camp. Can Charlie be introduced to his natural environment and survive? A stirring outdoor adventure; a memorable human drama!

This has to be one of the best family movies I have ever seen.
It's funny,it's a little sad at the end ( but in a good way )
My grandchildren absolutly adore this movie.It has been watched by them
several times.Their ages range from 6 thru 14.
Although this is an older movie ( 1967 )it is truely timeless in entertanment.A true family flick for all ages.You will not regret your purchase.
