It reminded me of a Disney film, wholesome and giving you a story with a lesson. All of the actors played their characters well. It's almost all shot outdoors and the location is rural and pretty. Plenty of animals liven things up: A bear, a boar, wild cats, ducks, cows,dogs, and horses pulling a very basic looking carriage that makes appealing rustic wood creaky noises as it drives along. There are old colored glass bottles too, which one character loves so much that he collects them in a burlap sack. There's even a little folk music played by the farmer and a couple of other guys. The speech and expressions they use, and the clothing they wear all seem right on, accurate to the time being portrayed. The movie did not make me cry (like Old Yeller) but I would call it heart-warming.
