Day #20 - of the 30 Day Film Challenge.

A Film That Changed Your Life - is the prompt.

Ugh. I don't know. Films don't change my life. I don't give my entertainment that level of importance. I mean I guess you could say "Star Wars" changed my life in some respects, but not really. I'd still be me if it didn't exist.

So, if like me, you are drawing a blank on this one? I'm providing an alternate prompt.

A Non-Animated Live Action film that has an animal as the lead character

Watch on YouTube

I remember seeing this as a little girl in 1974 - I adored it. So much that I also wanted the book. Did it change my life, no. But I did love it back then.

Most of these seem to be from decades ago. And in most the animal was a central character, but maybe not *the* lead, which was usually a kid like in this one:

Free Willy

Benji is one of the few in which the dog really is the central character - everyone else is kind of supporting.

You're correct though there's a lot in which it's really a kid. Where the Red Fern Grows, and Old Yeller = kids. As did Free Willy and The Yearling.

But I'll count them, considering I let cjlasky use a horror film about killer bunny rabbits.

I rather liked Free Willy.
