(Blu-ray, Mill Creek)
Friendly stray mutt Benji makes his daily rounds for food by visiting various human companions, but he seems to like it best at the home of a doctor and his two young children. The kids want to adopt him, but the doctor won't allow it, so Benji continues to freely roam the streets, but ends the day at an abandoned mansion that he enters through a broken window. One day he finds some teenagers breaking in and they plan to use the house for some kind of illicit plan. It turns out they kidnap his two favorite kids and bring them to the abandoned mansion. It is up to Benji to convince the police and their father that he knows their whereabouts. Extremely likeable kids flick, filmed almost entirely from a dog's point of view with some inventive camerawork. The plot is well-worn, though, and entirely predictable. Might be the best Disney movie Disney never made.
