 A Memorable movie January 3, 2009
Wallowa SAM (Enterprise, OR, USA)
I first saw this animal adventure on TV, in the early 1970's. It might have been on "Walt Disney's Wonderful World if Color". It is a sensitive film and it made such an indelible impression that I have thought of it off and on for 35 years. All of the main characters are very likable, including the grandfather, the boy, played by Johnny Whitaker, the girl, played by Jodie Foster, and the young man, played by Michael Douglas. I am very much looking forward to getting it and seeing it again.

This is a good movie for everyone in the family to enjoy.I loved seeing Michael Douglas and Jodie Foster at such a young age.I think you will enjoy this if you like the older,slower Disney movies.I enjoyed it.I think the older Disney movies were the best.

Whilst many critics do not rate this Disney offering as highly as some of the studio's other live action adventures (such as Davy Crockett, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Swiss Family Robinson), it is hard to imagine anyone coming away from seeing this film feeling dissatisfied. The great majority of viewers, from seven to seventy, will enjoy the fine performances of Michael Douglas, Johnny Whittaker and a very young Jody Foster (as Samantha) in what is at times both a heart-warming tale and fast-moving adventure.
In spite of the age of the film, the DVD picture is of fine quality and will please Disney collectors. The disc itself is rather bare-bones with no extras (unfortunately). A recent cast interview with those mentioned would have been great.
All in all, well worth the small investment.
Napoleon and Samantha is a wonderful movie. February 23, 2002

I have watched this movie only once in my life time, when I was about 4 years old and I was visiting some family members in John Day, Oregon (where the movie was filmed). I loved it so much that I remember everything about it and I'm glad that I have finally found a copy so that I can enjoy watching it with my children.
Fun for the Family.... October 12, 2001

I was priveledged to see this movie made in 1971. It was filmed in the community I grew up in (John Day Oregon). It's a joy to watch it so many years later and be able to see the town I new when I was 11. I'm biased, but I think it's a wonderful family film and it's fun seeing Michael Douglas and Jodi Foster so early in their careers.
