White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf (1994)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This film is a mixed bag of positives and negatives.On the good side: The scenery is spectacular! The photography often awesome. It's a basically interesting plot. Disney is one of the few film studios that apparently knows that the only Indians in North America were not Plains Indians! On the down side: The Native American girl -- who is actually Native American -- is just a little too beautiful. They left out the part with her going to the Native American beauty salon! But the real problem here is the script. At the beginning of the film the young man with the wolf companion are menaced by a bad guy...and that has nothing to do with the rest of the film. Then the young man -- a gold miner -- goes downriver and in the rapids loses his gold. Okay, that's cool. He is rescued by an Indian princess. Cool. Who has been sent to find a wolf her father had seen in a dream that would lead the tribe to the lost caribou -- a major source of food for the tribe, without which they have fallen on hard times. Okay, so you think that's the story you are about to see -- the dog and young man will lead the Indians to the caribou. But then the evil priest is menacing the Indians, and soon we find he is an illicit gold miner who has kidnapped Indian men who had been sent to find the caribou, and they are being forced under oppressive conditions to mine gold. Wait a minute...I'm feeling like I'm in an Indiana Jones film now (and believe me...in the mine sequences it does get quite Indiana Jones-ish). So now the dog and young man have to not only find the caribou (which they do, of course), but also rescue the Indians in the mine...all while also falling in love with the Indian princess, who gets kidnapped. Will Lassie...I mean White Fang...come to the rescue??? Will a small dynamite charge blow away a ridge of rock to allow the caribou to escape? Will Roy and Dale safely jump from a runaway wagon? And of course, Old Yeller...I mean White Fang...HAS to get injured. Will he survive? Just too much unrelated story. And then, as the film comes to a conclusion, would you believe the young lovers run into each others arms...and White Fang and a white female wolf run into each others paws. I kid you now. And who do we have to blame for all of this? Director Ken Olin, who proved he can destroy a television series through his poor directorial skills ("Brothers And Sisters").Having said all that, I'm not saying to not watch this film. It's fun, even if it's not very believable. And, there's some pretty good acting here...which saves the film. Scott Bairstow as quite good as the young man; Charmaine Craig quite good as the Indian princess. Al Harrington is good as the father of the princess, although why they couldn't use a real American Indian, I don't know. Anthony Ruivivar is very good as the young Indian brother, although, again, why they couldn't use a real American Indian for the role, I don't know. Alfred Molina is excellent as the bad guy. And Geoffrey Lewis -- one of the best character actors around -- is great, as always, although his role is not very substantial.So, sit back, suspend belief, and enjoy this romp...and curse Ken Olin while you're watching it...it could have been so much more.

White Fang 2 was about a man named Henry who normally lived alone and mined for gold with his wolf, White Fang. One day they go rafting down the river and they get caught in the rapids. Henry is rescued by Lily, an Indian girl, who takes him to her village, however White Fang was never recovered.When they arrive at Lily's village, White Wolf is of great importance and they hold ceremonies in honor of him, the tribe mistakes Henry as White Wolf in white man form and begins to worship him. Moses tells him he needs to go up the mountain and find the caribou because the village was starving. In Moses' dreams he sees Lily being led to the caribou by White Fang. I think the movie was decent enough to be called a good movie. I don't think it was that great because I don't really like gold mine/adventure type of movies. Although, this movie did help me realize that gold digger movies aren't all bad.

White Fang 2Already the beginning causes you to grip your chair and gape as the movie pummels into an adventure. With lots of action and bits of humor this movie's great for the whole family. An intense conflict rumbles between the Indians and an enigmatic priest, who, unknown until the end for his true purpose, cons as a friend. How are the Indian's going to find their caribou? Who better to stop gold miners than their own kind? Henry Casey, Lilly, White Fang, and Peter must put their courage to the test and save their people, the Inuit tribe from starvation and loss of their homeland! A thrilling sensation to watch, appropriate for all ages, and emotionally intense, this movie has all the elements of a magnificent movie. Your head swims in despair as you watch Lili, daughter of Moses, resolve her emotional conflicts with Henry. You feel like shouting out, when you see Moses, the leader of the Inuit Tribe, smile with satisfaction. See this movie right away!

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** White fang 2 was a great movie. It was very touching when I saw how much Henry Casey loved White Fang and Lily. It was very adventurous. I will now review the whole story from beginning to end. It was a great love story and was nice to see.Henry Casey was a miner. He went to Alaska to mine some gold and left his home San Francisco. He brought his friend, White Fang with him. White Fang was a wolf that was very smart and protected Henry. They cared for each other very much. Henry and White Fang stayed in a small house at Alaska. There was a thief that tried to steal all of Henry' s gold. Fortunately, it was not stolen. Henry and White Fang were on the river with a small canoe. Suddenly, mighty waves hit the river. The two fell out of the canoe and were hope less in the water. It was a waterfall and they could not do anything. Henry Casey was just lying on the surface. Lilly, a Indian girl found him. Luckily, Henry had survived so Lilly carried him to her hometown. White Fang had survived but no one has yet seen him. Later, Henry woke up and he introduced himself to the Indian tribe. He became good friends with Moses and Peter. Moses was the father of Peter and he was the leader or their tribe. They were both very nice. Later on, White Fang was found and returned to Henry. Lilly and Henry fell in love. They were very passionate. White men had come to Alaska to take all of the gold mine and keep it a secret from the Indians. The Indians were starving. Henry was the hero and saved the Indians. He destroyed the white men. Later on. Lilly and Henry gets married. White Fang met a female wolf and they had babies. Unfortunately at the end, Peter dies. That was very heart breaking.This movie fabulous. It wasn't time wasting and quite nice. I hope I could see more movies like this. The author of this movie did a nice job on creating a good story like this. Disney is the best.
