Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Rereleased on video 30 years after its initial release, this classic Disney movie about a motherless cougar looks great, if not quite perfect. Originally filmed in 1967 in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the scenery and wildlife are absolutely spectacular. The story is somewhat formulaic, but entertaining just the same. A forester named Jess adopts an abandoned cougar he names Charlie, nursing him from an eyedropper and enduring many sleepless nights in the process. As Charlie grows, he's a fixture in the local logging community, where mischief abounds and laughs are plentiful. When Charlie enters his teenage years, his natural curiosity and playfulness begin to hinder the logging process, and Jess is forced to release his beloved friend. Highlights include several comic chase scenes between Charlie and a terrier named Chainsaw, an amazing logrolling sequence in which Charlie shows off some fancy footwork, and a toboggan ride that Charlie and his viewers will remember for a long time. All in all, this 75-minute adventure-comedy is perfect for the whole family. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Description

Lost, abandoned, and frightened, a young cougar is discovered and "adopted" by a rugged lumberman named Jess Bradley (Ron Brown). Dubbed "Good Time Charlie," the cat soon lives a carefree, domestic life among the rugged logging camps of the Pacific Northwest. But Charlie is torn between this unusual way of life and his true wildlife instincts ... instincts that create friction and fear with the men of the camp. Can Charlie be introduced to his natural environment and survive? A stirring outdoor adventure; a memorable human drama!

5 out of 5 stars Charlie is a classic.......2007-01-16

I remember watching this movie as a kid. My husband wanted this movie for a trip down memory lane. It is a timeless classic that even today's child will enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Your children are going to love this one... just like we did when we were kids!.......2006-08-30

This is a GREAT movie!

Charlie is a little (relatively speaking) lost cougar kitten when Jess finds him in the forest and adopts him. From there the story follows Charlie's adventures growing up and thinking he's just an oversized house-cat who mooches free meals from Jess's friends at the lumber mill.

There are lots of hilarious moments where Charlie gets into trouble but those involving a small dog with a big attitude will have the kids rolling with laughter. * Keep an eye out for Charlie's visit to the barn, too...

The other reviews have covered the basic plot so I won't spoil any more details plus those who have seen it know how great it is...



Parents: Tired of the garbage on t.v. and coming out of "modern Hollywierd"?

This movie comes from an era when Disney actually made CHILD FRIENDLY movies that you could let kids watch unsupervised! This movie contains NO garbage and children really get into Charlie's adventures!
Don't let the era of the movie fool you... Playstation addicted kids get into this movie and root for Charlie to make it though his adventures! My son had never seen this movie and he was glued to the television from start to finish and asked me all kinds of questions!

KIDS LOVE THIS MOVIE!

So if you're tired of trying to police the manure spewing from your television and want to watch a GREAT movie with your family then get Charlie the Lonesome Cougar!

5 out of 5 stars Good Old Fashioned Entertainment!!.......2004-08-04

This movie has stood the test of time, and it is a throw back to an era when Disney could make a film like this and let it stand on its own merits, instead of making many of the kinds of films it does today.

This is good old fashioned entertainment, and it focuses on "Charlie," and follows his escapades in the Northwest. It is both funny, suspenseful, sad, and maddening, as we see this cougar do the most outlandish things, because, of course, he is a cougar.

A great family film and highly recommended!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2004-04-21
