Synopsis
Jack the Bitterroot Beagle, overcomes treacherous obstacles, injury, and an encounter with Bigfoot, in his adventurous quest for the Golden Bone. In this movie, director John Williams incorporates an adventurous storyline, over 40 talking characters, special effects and a soundtrack to provide a unique theatrical and educational experience for children and families. Canine wisecracks fly like Frisbees as Jack romps through his own picturesque playground in Montana’s beautiful Bitterroot Valley. Whether balancing on a log over a roaring stream, mingling with moose, or scurrying from a Sasquatch, Jack displays natural acting skills that will entertain the whole family.
“It is unfortunate that fewer and fewer children are experiencing nature these days,” Williams said. “Hopefully Jack can help persuade kids to explore the beauty that Mother Nature has so graciously bestowed on Western Montana and the rest of the world.”
Per Sandy Robins of MSNBC, “Jack leads the treasure hunt to find the golden bone through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. This delightful romp allows children to get up close and personal with a variety of animals and appreciate nature. Good family fun. Your dog may even enjoy it too.”
Star Wars editor, Mary M. Lind, says it’s “A fun, learning adventure for all.”
Peter Rosten (President, MAPS: Media Arts in the Public Schools) believes it to be “…a charming film that children of all ages will enjoy.”
