The Adventures of Milo & Otis
Japanese filmmaker Masanori Hata made this above-average family film about a dog and a cat–friends with a tendency to make mischief–who go on an unanticipated adventure when one is rushed downriver and the other follows. Hata, who took four years to complete the work, relies on purely cinematic storytelling techniques (these animals don’t have human voices on the soundtrack), making the film an international favorite. Dudley Moore narrates, but the film works because Hata’s filmmaking fundamentals are so good. Kids love this, but adults can easily appreciate and enjoy it, too. –Tom Keogh
