		Ive been a major fan of Benji when i was a child growing up in the 80's and i was so into this movie that it was the only movie i always wanted to watch.

	Benji: Off the Leash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		If anything, Benji: Off the Leash feels like an extended public service announcement extolling the virtues of pet adoption and condemning the evils of puppy mills (oh yeah, and spousal abuse is bad too).
		Both are cute and yes, everybody wants to play with them, but Benji: Off the Leash (he's never really on a leash in the first place) needs more than cute dogs to sustain itself.
		There is the prerequisite sad scene at the end with the crying boy, but it feels so out of place given the tone of the rest of the film.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Benji (1974)
		Benji, of a series of Joe Camp films, is one of the most beloved of modern screen canines.
		Perhaps it's because Benji is a stray mutt, a loner, who has to make his own way in the world and tries to better the lives of those around him in the process.
		The film primarily focuses on Benji, not the human characters, and even if Benji is certainly a romanticized movie dog rather than a real one, it does as well as any movie has at getting inside a dog's head.

		Lost in the woods and attacked by wild things great and small, the intrepid house pet becomes the protector of a quartet of mountain lion cubs.
		Benji's slavering devotion to categorical duty (he deliberately avoids being rescued until his furry charges are safe) ranks him among the great Kantian moralists of the screen, though the corresponding suppression of canine instinct should leave some Darwinian tongues hanging (and do we really want our yuppoid kiddies exposed to such masochistic example?).
		Director Joe Camp, the inspirational hand behind the Benji series, shows some remarkable logistic skills in setting up his scenes, and the wilderness photography is never less than impressive, but there ought to be more to harmless entertainment than following wagging tails across the screen.
