Not Your Typical Lassie Movie, 29 June 1999
6/10
Author: (japanaf@aol.com) from Tokyo, Japan

This is not the type of Lassie movie/TV show I enjoyed as a kid. Here "she" plays a supporting, but key role. Older kids may enjoy it, once they get past the classical singing. I especially enjoyed the scenes with the shopkeeper. I found the ending much too predictable.
