The Ups and Downs of Being a Wolf October 25, 2007
Nancy Sherburne (Tucson, Arizona, USA)
However good the cinematography, the storyline, or the narration, it is the song sung by the Sons of the Pioneers I remember best. Of course it has been too long for me to remember the words, but the song was sung in snatches throughout the movie and complemented Rex Allen's narration very nicely. I still have Ernest Thompson Seton's Wild Animals I have Known with stories of a crow, fox, mustang and rabbit among others. The first story is The King of Currumpaw and the basis of The Legend of Lobo. There is only one other movie I can recall showing the life of a wild animal and that was The Glacier Fox. The Legend of Lobo told a more complete story in that it began with the birth of Lobo and followed his puppyhood, maturing into a full grown wolf, selecting a mate, and raising a family. The life of a wolf was filled with danger from the ranchers so it is not all pleasant. But, regardless of how old the movie is, it is still a valuable aid to gaining knowledge of this wild canine.
Darn good show! July 27, 2006

I loved that movie. If you love wolves, or animals you'll love this. It has its really touching parts, and teaches a lot about wolves. Unlike normal shows that'll teach to you about animals, this one does it in an entertaining way by teaching it in a story, talking about Lobo's life and all the challenges he has to go through, as a lot of wolves, probably, do to. Also it shows just how truly evil humans are to animals....and...well all I can think to type about it. I give it 4 stars.
 This was the movie of my childhood August 1, 2005

From the day I saw it as a six year old, Lobo was my all time favorite film. I would rent it from the video store every chance I got and only recently purchased it for myself as a 21 year old.
As an animal lover, Lobo let my imagination soar to a whole new world of mountains, cowboys, and adventure. From the moment I saw the movie, the amazing wolf has been my favorite and most respected animal. The fun and emotional story of Lobo will never get old.
I recommend this to all ages. Watch it for what it is, no comparisons, no modern day standards, just sit back and enjoy it.

This movie made me laugh and cry. I love the story of LOBO. This film will make you sing, dance, shout for joy, and of course, like all dog movies, cry. Bitter-sweet is defently the one and only way to describe LOBO and his adventures. This movie is good for only these ages listed:
7
8
9
10
and up.
LOBO is a great movie, but little kods would get bored or be sad at certain parts. LOBO + VCR = Bitter-sweet.
A unique way of telling a story. April 27, 2001

Ernest Thompson Seton's story has been brought to the screen in a remarkable and unique way. There is no dialogue in the whole movie. The story is told through narration by Rex Allen (who had the perfect voice for this sort of thing) and music performed by the Sons of the Pioneers. (The title song, which reappears throughout the film, was written by the Sherman Brothers.) Oliver Wallace provides a nice music score and the outdoor photography by Jack Couffer and Lloyd Beebe is beautiful. All of these elements combine to form a very entertaining film. May the legend live on.
