Call of the Wild, The

Gorgeous scenery and cinematography dominate this engaging, tension-punctuated, well-acted, family-friendly, delightful, star-dotted (Dan Stevens, Bradley Whitford, Karen Gillan, Terry Notary, and Scott MacDonald), 105-minute, 2019 remake of the 1935 film based on Jack London's 1905 classic novel in which an idyllic life of a lovable, smart, protective St. Bernard/Scotch Collie goes topsy-turvy when he ends up in the wilds of the Alaskan Yukon in the 1890s after being stolen from his California family and ends up as a valuable sled dog for an African-American mailman (Omar Sy) and his wife (Cara Gee), is sold again to an abusive gold prospector (Colin Woodell), and eventually teams up with a kindhearted, lonely prospector (Harrison Ford).
