Viewing Notes
Winding down my day with this. Been a while since I last saw this. Oh shit I haven’t logged this so it has really been a long time!
This movie is great and yet a very real depiction if this situation were to play out then or now. Sad that exploitation of animals really hasn’t changed in the last century. The stop motion work is really terrific especially the whole scene with the cowboys trying to wrangle Joe in the beginning.
