I do love most animals. Looking at them anyway. I would care for one under the right circumstances.
Billy is the human. Molly is the otter.
Billy cares for a young otter he names Molly. She grows dependent on him, and becomes friendly with him. She becomes independent and self sufficient over time.
National Geographic is known for picturesque photography of wildlife and nature. Occasionally they produce wildlife films. I have seen a few. This ranks up there in their top 5 or 10.
It may get a 10 from me if I feel compelled to watch again. I just finished watching it before writing this. It is very good. Great pacing, beautifully shot, almost each scene is a beautiful photo.
Narrated well. The pacing is slow, but as soon as we see close ups of the otter, your joy and excitement will pick up.
Billy, his wife, and the poor dog, who is starving for attention, are the supporting characters. You feel for Billy, but the main star is Mollie the otter.
Again a surprise magical movie that is a documentary stylized as a story. Which it is. Enjoy. This is for all ages.
