Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull Cover artist Charles Edward Hooper Country United States Language English Genre Adventure fiction Publisher Macmillan Publication date 1903 Media type Print ( Serial, Hardcover & Paperback) Pages 232 (First edition) OCLC 28228581 Followed by White Fang The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. London spent almost a year in the Yukon, and his observations form much of the material for the book. The story was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published a month later in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London. As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations. Plot summary [ edit] The story opens with Buck, a powerful 140-pound St. Bernard – Scotch Collie mix, [1] [2] living happily in California 's Santa Clara Valley as the pampered pet of rich Judge Miller and his family. However, the secretive assistant gardener Manuel, in desperate need of money to finance his Chinese lottery addiction, steals Buck and sells him for a large, lucrative amount of cash. Buck is shipped to Seattle. Put in a crate, he is starved and ill-treated. When released, he attacks his overseer, known only as of the "man in the red sweater" but this man teaches the "law of the club", hitting Buck until he is sufficiently cowed (but the man shows some kindness after Buck stops). Buck is then sold to a pair of French-Canadian dispatchers from the Canadian government, François and Perrault, who take him with them to Alaska. There, they train him as a sled dog, and drive him through the Klondike region of Canada. From his teammates, he quickly learns to adapt to survive cold winter nights and the pack society. A rivalry develops between Buck and the lead dog, Spitz, a vicious and quarrelsome white husky. Buck eventually beats Spitz in a fight and kills him, and then becomes the team's new lead dog. When François and Perrault complete the round-trip of the Yukon Trail in record time—returning to Skagway with their dispatches—and are given new orders from the Canadian government, their team is then sold to a " Scotch half-breed" man, who is also working the mail service. The dogs must now carry heavy loads to the mining areas, and the journeys they make are tiresome and long. During this run of the trail, Buck seems to have memories of his canine ancestor hanging out with a short-legged " hairy man ". Meanwhile, the weary dogs become weak, and one of the team, Dave, a morose husky, becomes terminally sick and is eventually shot. Buck's next owners are a trio of stampeders from the American Southland (present-day contiguous the United States)—a spoiled woman called Mercedes, her sheepish husband Charles, and her arrogant brother Hal—who are inexperienced at surviving in the Northern wilderness. They struggle to control the sled and ignore helpful advice from others—in particular, the warnings that the spring melt poses dangers. When Mercedes is told her sled is too heavy, she dumps out crucial supplies in favor of fashion objects. They also foolishly create a team of 14 dogs, erroneously thinking they can go faster with more dogs. They overfeed the over-worked dogs and then are forced to starve them when the food supply becomes low. Most dogs on the team die from either weakness, neglect, or sickness—leaving only five dogs when they pull into White River. There, they meet John Thornton, an experienced outdoorsman, who notices the dogs have been poorly treated and are in a weakened condition. He warns the trio against crossing the river, but they ignore his advice and order Buck to move on. Exhausted, starving, and sensing the danger ahead, Buck refuses and continues to lie unmoving in the snow. After Buck is beaten by Hal, Thornton, disgusted by the driver's treatment of Buck, hits Hal with the butt of his ax and cuts Buck free from his traces. Unable to cross Thornton, the trio leaves and tries to cross the river with the four dogs remaining, but as Thornton warned, the ice breaks and the dogs and humans (and their sled) fall into the river and drown. Buck comes to love and grows devoted to Thornton as he nurses him back to health. He saves Thornton when the man falls into a river. After Thornton takes him on trips to pan for gold, a bonanza king (someone who hit it rich in a certain area), named Mr. Matthewson, wagers Thornton on the dog's strength and devotion. Buck wins the bet for Thornton by breaking a sled holding a half-ton (1, 000-pound (450 kg)) load of flour free of the frozen ground, pulling it 100 yards (91 m) and winning Thornton US$1, 600 in gold dust. A king of the Skookum Benches offers a large sum to buy Buck, but Thornton has grown fond of him and declines. Using his winnings, Thornton retires his debts but elects to continue searching for gold with friends Pete and Hans—sledding Buck and six other dogs—looking for a fabled Lost Cabin. Once at a suitable gold find, the dogs have nothing to do—and Buck has more ancestor-memories of hanging out with the primitive "hairy man". [3] While Thornton and his two friends are panning in a campsite, Buck hears the call of the wild, explores the wilderness, and socializes with a Northwestern wolf from a local pack. However, Buck decides not to join the wolves and elects to return to Thornton. He repeatedly goes back and forth between Thornton and the wild. When returning to the campsite after strategically killing a bull moose, he finds Hans and Pete murdered, then sees Thornton has suffered the same fate—at the hands of a group of Native-American Yeehats. Enraged, Buck kills several of the natives to avenge Thornton, and he then realizes that he has no ties to humans and the law of club and fang, and goes to find his wild brother. He encounters a hostile pack of wolves and fights them. Buck wins the fight, then finds that the same wolf he had socialized with was in the pack he fought. Buck then follows the wolf and its pack into the forest and answers the call of the wild. The legend of Buck is spread among other Native Americans as the "Ghost Dog" of the Northland (Alaska and northwestern Canada). Buck comes out of the backwoods once a year on the anniversary of his attack on the Yeehats, at the former campsite where he was last with Thornton, Hans, and Pete, in order to mourn their deaths—while each winter he heads the wolf-pack, wreaking vengeance on the Yeehats, "as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack. " Main characters [ edit] Major dog characters: Buck, the novel's protagonist; a 140-pound St. Bernard–Scotch Collie mix who lived a happy life in California with Judge Miller. However, he was stolen and sold to the Klondike by the gardener's assistant Manuel and was forced to work in harsh conditions of being a sled dog in the Yukon. He eventually finds a loving master named John Thornton and begins to grow feral as he becomes a part of the wild with a pack of wolves. After Thornton's death, he becomes free from humanity and becomes a legend in the Klondike. Spitz, the main antagonist of the novel and Buck's arch-rival; a white-haired husky from Spitsbergen who had accompanied a geological survey into the Canadian Barrens. He has a long history as a sled-dog leader, and sees Buck's uncharacteristic ability, for a Southland dog, to adapt and thrive in the North as a threat to him. He repeatedly provokes fights with Buck, who bides his time. Dave, the "wheel dog" at the back end of the dog-team. He is brought North with Buck and Spitz and is a faithful sled-dog who only wants to be left alone and led by an effective lead-dog. During his second down-trek on the Yukon Trail, he grows mortally weak, but the men accommodate his pride by allowing him to continue to drive the sled until he becomes so weak that he is euthanized. Billie, a good-natured, appeasing husky who faithfully pulls the sled until being worked to death by Hal, Charles, and Mercedes. Joe, Billie's brother, but with an opposite personality—"sour and introspective". Spitz is unable to discipline him, but Buck, after rising to the head of the team, brings him into line. Sol-leks ("The Angry One"), a one-eyed husky who, unsurprisingly, doesn't like being approached from his blind side. Like Dave, he "expects nothing, gives nothing", and only cares about being left alone and having an effective leader. Pike, "a clever malingerer and thief"; Dub, "an awkward blunderer... always getting caught"; Teek; and Koona —additional huskies on the Yukon-Trail dog-team. Skeet and Nig —two Southland dogs owned by John Thornton when he acquires Buck. The Wild Brother, a lone wolf who befriends Buck. Major human characters: Judge Miller, Buck's first master who lived in Santa Clara Valley, California with his family. Unlike Thornton, he only expressed friendship with Buck, whereas Thornton expressed love. Manuel, Judge Miller's assistant who sells Buck to the Klondike to pay off his gambling debt. Perrault, a French-Canadian courier for the Canadian government who is Buck's first Northland master. François, a French-Canadian half-breed who is Perrault's partner, the musher who drives the sled dogs. Hal, an aggressive and violent musher who is Mercedes' brother and Charles' brother-in-law, and is inexperienced with the way of sled dogs. Charles, Mercedes' husband who is less violent than Hal. Mercedes, a spoiled and pampered woman who is Hal's sister and Charles' wife. John Thornton, a gold hunter who is Buck's final master until he is killed by the Yeehats. Pete and Hans —John Thornton's two partners as he pans for gold in the East. The Yeehats, a deadly tribe of Native Americans. After they kill John Thornton, Buck attacks them, and "dogs" them ever after, after going wild—making sure they never re-enter the valley where his last master was murdered. The Man in the Red Sweater, a trainer who beats Buck to teach him the law of the club. Background [ edit] California native Jack London had traveled around the United States as a hobo, returned to California to finish high school (he dropped out at age 14), and spent a year in college at Berkeley, when in 1897 he went to the Klondike by way of Alaska during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. Later, he said of the experience: "It was in the Klondike I found myself. " [4] He left California in July and traveled by boat to Dyea, Alaska, where he landed and went inland. To reach the gold fields, he and his party transported their gear over the Chilkoot Pass, often carrying loads as heavy as 100 pounds (45 kg) on their backs. They were successful in staking claims to eight gold mines along the Stewart River. [5] London stayed in the Klondike for almost a year, living temporarily in the frontier town of Dawson City, before moving to a nearby winter camp, where he spent the winter in a temporary shelter reading books he had brought: Charles Darwin 's On the Origin of Species and John Milton 's Paradise Lost. [6] In the winter of 1898, Dawson City was a city comprising about 30, 000 miners, a saloon, an opera house, and a street of brothels. [7] Klondike routes map. The section connecting Dyea/Skagway with Dawson is referred to by London as the "Yukon Trail". In the spring, as the annual gold stampeders began to stream in, London left. He had contracted scurvy, common in the Arctic winters where fresh produce was unavailable. When his gums began to swell he decided to return to California. With his companions, he rafted 2, 000 miles (3, 200 km) down the Yukon River, through portions of the wildest territory in the region, until they reached St. Michael. There, he hired himself out on a boat to earn return passage to San Francisco. [8] In Alaska, London found the material that inspired him to write The Call of the Wild. [4] Dyea Beach was the primary point of arrival for miners when London traveled through there, but because its access was treacherous Skagway soon became the new arrival point for prospectors. [9] To reach the Klondike, miners had to navigate White Pass, known as "Dead Horse Pass", where horse carcasses littered the route because they could not survive the harsh and steep ascent. Horses were replaced with dogs as pack animals to transport material over the pass; [10] particularly strong dogs with thick fur were "much desired, scarce and high in price". [11] London would have seen many dogs, especially prized Husky sled dogs, in Dawson City and in the winter camps situated close to the main sled route. He was friends with Marshall Latham Bond and his brother Louis Whitford Bond, the owners of a mixed St. Bernard - Scotch Collie dog about which London later wrote: "Yes, Buck is based on your dog at Dawson. " [12] Beinecke Library at Yale University holds a photograph of Bond's dog, taken during London's stay in the Klondike in 1897. The depiction of the California ranch at the beginning of the story was based on the Bond family ranch. [13] Publication history [ edit] On his return to California, London was unable to find work and relied on odd jobs such as cutting grass. He submitted a query letter to the San Francisco Bulletin proposing a story about his Alaskan adventure, but the idea was rejected because, as the editor told him, "Interest in Alaska has subsided in an amazing degree. " [8] A few years later, London wrote a short story about a dog named Bâtard who, at the end of the story, kills his master. London sold the piece to Cosmopolitan Magazine, which published it in the June 1902 issue under the title "Diablo – A Dog". [14] London's biographer, Earle Labor, says that London then began work on The Call of the Wild to "redeem the species" from his dark characterization of dogs in "Bâtard". Expecting to write a short story, London explains: "I meant it to be a companion to my other dog story 'Bâtard'... but it got away from me, and instead of 4, 000 words it ran 32, 000 before I could call a halt. " [15] Written as a frontier story about the gold rush, The Call of the Wild was meant for the pulp market. It was first published in four installments in The Saturday Evening Post, which bought it for $750 in 1903. [16] [17] In the same year, London sold all rights to the story for $2, 500 to Macmillan, which published it in book format. [17] The book has never been out of print since that time. [17] Editions [ edit] The first edition, by Macmillan, released in August 1903, had 10 tipped-in color plates by illustrators Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull, and a color frontispiece by Charles Edward Hooper; it sold for $1. 50. [18] [19] It is presently available with the original illustrations at the Internet Archive. [20] Genre [ edit] Buck proves himself as leader of the pack when he fights Spitz "to the death". The Call of the Wild falls into the genre of animal fiction, in which an animal is anthropomorphized and given human traits. In the story, London attributes human thoughts and insights to Buck, so much so that when the story was published he was accused of being a nature faker for attributing "unnatural" feelings to a dog. [21] Along with his contemporaries Frank Norris and Theodore Dreiser, London was influenced by the naturalism of European writers such as Émile Zola, in which themes such as heredity versus environment were explored. London's use of the genre gave it a new vibrancy, according to scholar Richard Lehan. [22] The story is also an example of American pastoralism —a prevailing theme in American literature—in which the mythic hero returns to nature. As with other characters of American literature, such as Rip van Winkle and Huckleberry Finn, Buck symbolizes a reaction against industrialization and social convention with a return to nature. London presents the motif simply, clearly, and powerfully in the story, a motif later echoed by 20th century American writers William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway (most notably in " Big Two-Hearted River "). [23] E. L. Doctorow says of the story that it is "fervently American". [24] The enduring appeal of the story, according to American literature scholar Donald Pizer, is that it is a combination of allegory, parable, and fable. The story incorporates elements of age-old animal fables, such as Aesop's Fables, in which animals speak truth, and traditional beast fables, in which the beast "substitutes wit for insight". [25] London was influenced by Rudyard Kipling 's The Jungle Book, written a few years earlier, with its combination of parable and animal fable, [26] and by other animal stories popular in the early 20th century. In The Call of the Wild, London intensifies and adds layers of meaning that are lacking in these stories. [15] As a writer London tended to skimp on form, according to biographer Labor, and neither The Call of the Wild nor White Fang "is a conventional novel". [27] The story follows the archetypal "myth of the hero"; Buck, who is the hero, takes a journey, is transformed, and achieves an apotheosis. The format of the story is divided into four distinct parts, according to Labor. In the first part, Buck experiences violence and struggles for survival; in the second part, he proves himself a leader of the pack; the third part brings him to his death (symbolically and almost literally); and in the fourth and final part, he undergoes rebirth. [28] Themes [ edit] London's story is a tale of survival and a return to primitivism. Pizer writes that: "the strong, the shrewd, and the cunning shall prevail when... life is bestial". [29] Pizer also finds evident in the story a Christian theme of love and redemption, as shown by Buck's refusal to revert to violence until after the death of Thornton, who had won Buck's love and loyalty. [30] London, who went so far as to fight for custody of one of his own dogs, understood that loyalty between dogs (particularly working dogs) and their masters is built on trust and love. [31] Writing in the "Introduction" to the Modern Library edition of The Call of the Wild, E. Doctorow says the theme is based on Darwin 's concept of survival of the fittest. London places Buck in conflict with humans, in conflict with the other dogs, and in conflict with his environment—all of which he must challenge, survive, and conquer. [24] Buck, a domesticated dog, must call on his atavistic hereditary traits to survive; he must learn to be wild to become wild, according to Tina Gianquitto. He learns that in a world where the "club and the fang" are law, where the law of the pack rules and a good-natured dog such as Curly can be torn to pieces by pack members, that survival by whatever means is paramount. [32] London also explores the idea of "nature vs. nurture". Buck, raised as a pet, is by heredity a wolf. The change of environment brings up his innate characteristics and strengths to the point where he fights for survival and becomes leader of the pack. Pizer describes how the story reflects human nature in its prevailing theme of the strength, particularly in the face of harsh circumstances. [30] The veneer of civilization is thin and fragile, writes Doctorow, and London exposes the brutality at the core of humanity and the ease with which humans revert to a state of primitivism. [24] His interest in Marxism is evident in the sub-theme that humanity is motivated by materialism; and his interest in Nietzschean philosophy is shown by Buck's characterization. [24] Gianquitto writes that in Buck's characterization, London created a type of Nietschean Übermensch – in this case a dog that reaches mythic proportions. [33] Doctorow sees the story as a caricature of a bildungsroman – in which a character learns and grows – in that Buck becomes progressively less civilized. [24] Gianquitto explains that Buck has evolved to the point that he is ready to join a wolf pack, which has a social structure uniquely adapted to and successful in the harsh arctic environment, unlike humans, who are weak in the harsh environment. [34] Writing style [ edit] The first chapter opens with the first quatrain of John Myers O'Hara 's poem, Atavism, [35] published in 1902 in The Bookman. The stanza outlines one of the main motifs of The Call of the Wild: that Buck when removed from the "sun-kissed" Santa Clara Valley where he was raised, will revert to his wolf heritage with its innate instincts and characteristics. [36] The themes are conveyed through London's use of symbolism and imagery which, according to Labor, vary in the different phases of the story. The imagery and symbolism in the first phase, to do with the journey and self-discovery, depict physical violence, with strong images of pain and blood. In the second phase, fatigue becomes a dominant image and death is a dominant symbol, as Buck comes close to being killed. The third phase is a period of renewal and rebirth and takes place in the spring, before ending with the fourth phase, when Buck fully reverts to nature is placed in a vast and "weird atmosphere", a place of pure emptiness. [37] The setting is allegorical. The southern lands represent the soft, materialistic world; the north symbolizes a world beyond civilization and is inherently competitive. [30] The harshness, brutality, and emptiness in Alaska reduce life to its essence, as London learned, and shows in Buck's story. Buck must defeat Spitz, the dog who symbolically tries to get ahead and take control. When Buck is sold to Charles, Hal, and Mercedes, he finds himself in a camp that is dirty. They treat their dogs badly; they are artificial interlopers in the pristine landscape. Conversely, Buck's next masters, John Thornton, and his two companions are described as "living close to the earth". They keep a clean camp, treat their animals well, and represent man's nobility in nature. [23] Unlike Buck, Thornton loses his fight with his fellow species, and not until Thornton's death does Buck revert fully to the wild and his primordial state. [38] The characters too are symbolic of types. Charles, Hal, and Mercedes symbolize vanity and ignorance, while Thornton and his companions represent loyalty, purity, and love. [30] Much of the imagery is stark and simple with an emphasis on images of cold, snow, ice, darkness, meat, and blood. [38] London varied his prose style to reflect the action. He wrote in an over-affected style in his descriptions of Charles, Hal, and Mercedes' camp as a reflection of their intrusion in the wilderness. Conversely, when describing Buck and his actions, London wrote in a style that was pared down and simple—a style that would influence and be the forebear of Hemingway's style. [23] The story was written as a frontier adventure and in such a way that it worked well as a serial. As Doctorow points out, it is good episodic writing that embodies the style of magazine adventure writing popular in that period. "It leaves us with satisfaction at its outcome, a story well and truly told, " he said. [24] Reception and legacy [ edit] The Call of the Wild was enormously popular from the moment it was published. H. Menken wrote of London's story: "No other popular writer of his time did any better writing than you will find in The Call of the Wild. " [4] A reviewer for The New York Times wrote of it in 1903: "If nothing else makes Mr. London's book popular, it ought to be rendered so by the complete way in which it will satisfy the love of dog fights apparently inherent in every man. " [39] The reviewer for The Atlantic Monthly wrote that it was a book: "untouched by making and the achievement of such a hero [Buck] constitute, not a pretty story at all, but a very powerful one. " [40] The book secured London a place in the canon of American literature. [33] The first printing of 10, 000 copies sold out immediately; it is still one of the best known stories written by an American author, and continues to be read and taught in schools. [24] [41] It has been published in 47 languages. [42] London's first success, the book secured his prospects as a writer and gained him a readership that stayed with him throughout his career. [24] [33] After the success of The Call of the Wild London wrote to Macmillan in 1904 proposing a second book ( White Fang) in which he wanted to describe the opposite of Buck: a dog that transforms from wild to tame: "I'm going to reverse the stead of devolution of decivilization... I'm going to give the evolution, the civilization of a dog. " [43] Adaptations [ edit] The first adaptation of London's story was a silent film made in 1923. [44] The 1935 version starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young expanded John Thornton's role and was the first " talkie " to feature the story. The 1972 movie The Call of the Wild, starring Charlton Heston as John Thornton, was filmed in Finland. [45]   The 1978 Snoopy TV special What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown! is another adaptation. In 1981, an anime film titled Call of the Wild: Howl Buck was released, starring Mike Reynolds and Bryan Cranston. A 1997 adaptation called The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon starred Rutger Hauer and was narrated by Richard Dreyfuss. The Hollywood Reporter said that Graham Ludlow 's adaptation was, "... a pleasant surprise. Much more faithful to Jack London's 1903 classic than the two Hollywood versions. " [46] A comic adaptation had been made in 1998 for Boys Life magazine. Due to cultural sensitivities, the Yeehat Indians are omitted, and John Thorton's killers are now white criminals, who as before, are also killed by Buck. Chris Sanders is directing another film adaptation titled The Call of the Wild, a live-action/ computer-animated film scheduled to release on February 21, 2020 by 20th Century Studios. Harrison Ford will star as the lead role and Terry Notary will portray Buck through motion capture.

Overall B Buck is a huge, friendly, spoiled dog, but his life is turned upside down when he is stolen from his home in California and shipped to the frozen wilderness of the Yukon. Release date February 21, 2020 Violence C+ Sexual Content A Profanity A- Substance Use C Why is The Call of the Wild rated PG? The MPAA rated The Call of the Wild PG for some violence, peril, thematic elements and mild language. Run Time: 105 minutes Parent Movie Review “Is there any house big enough to hold him? ” Buck is massive St. Bernard/Scotch Collie with a loyal heart, expressive eyes, and prodigious amounts of energy that can’t be contained in his sedate California home. His mischief-making career comes to an abrupt end one night when he is dog-napped, sealed in a wooden crate, and shipped thousands of miles without food or water. Upon arrival in the far North, Buck is brutalized, subdued, and sold as a sled dog to deliver the mail to prospectors in Yukon Territory. Buck’s heart is as resilient as he is strong, and he soon embarks with gusto on this second phase of his life. And, then, on the third… The Call of the Wild carries a number of themes that will interest parents, and resilience is doubtless one of them. Buck is a poster boy for emotional resilience, bouncing back from everything life throws at him. But John Thornton (a scraggly, bearded Harrison Ford), running from the demons of his past and trying to drown them in alcohol, demonstrates that for some of us, resilience is more of a journey than a hardwired personality trait. The primary messages of this film, not surprisingly, relate to man’s relationship to nature. The most obvious is our responsibility to animals. There are scenes where Buck (and sometimes other dogs) are beaten, whipped, starved, or have guns pointed at them. The bigger theme is never articulated but is embedded in the location of the film. Set in Canada’s Yukon Territory, this movie is shot in the Yukon and British Columbia. Soaring, snow-capped mountains, meadows filled with wildflowers, sparkling rivers…this movie is a dream come true for anyone promoting tourism in the far North. It’s also a reminder of how beautiful and fragile our world is. Harrison Ford has publicly stated that The Call of the Wild is a warning about environmental stewardship. In his words: “We’re in danger of losing the support of nature for our lives, for our economies, for our societies. Because nature doesn’t need people, people need nature. ” Despite its powerful messages, The Call of the Wild comes with some negatives, none more glaring than the CGI dogs. I’m not sure why director Chris Sanders chose to use a computer generated canine; perhaps he didn’t want the trouble of using live animals on set, maybe he thought it was kinder to animals. Whatever the reason, the result is uncomfortable to watch. Real dogs look and act like dogs, even when they’ve been trained to do tricks. Animated dogs are obviously not real and can believably talk, emote, or act like humans. But the CGI dogs in this movie try to mix and match, combining realistic looking canine bodies with eerily human facial expressions. It’s a full-on uncanny valley experience and makes it difficult to get fully immersed in the story. For parents who aren’t troubled by the movie’s CGI, the only real areas of concern are alcohol use and violence. John Thornton is a problem drinker, using liquor to numb the pain of his past.. The bigger content problem is related to violence – human on animal, animal on animal, and human on human. None of the violence is gratuitous or gory and all of it advances the plot, but there are scenes of animal abuse or fistfights and moments of extreme peril that might be distressing to some. The death of a character could upset sensitive viewers, like the little girl a few seats away from me who was audibly sobbing in the theater. But for most family viewers, Buck’s adventures will help deepen our appreciation of the beautiful planet we call home and might even help us hear the call of the wild places that still remain. Directed by Chris Sanders. Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Gillan, and Omar Sy. Running time: 105 minutes. Theatrical release February 21, 2020.

Aguante Slash & Myles Kennedy! Aunk la intro es re Paradise City... Proteviu sauksmas. Me, my brother and dad going to see this movie. All for different reasons. Goddamn CGI dog gonna make me cry. I already know it. Ironically, my class is reading this story right now. I 't get through it after chapter 5. Proteviu sauksmas filmas. Someone else saw the name of Tom Holland in the credits? it is a sign they are destined to be together😍 in all alternate realities🌍, in any universe🌌 and even at any time⏳. Other critics and I lamented 2019’s The Lion King for its rictus-faced animals. For all the attention paid to the realism in every blade of grass and every strand of hair, the animals could not emote. Chris Sanders ‘ adaptation of The Call of the Wild goes too far in the opposite direction with animals, particularly the lead, that constantly seem like they’re mugging for the camera. Dogs are pretty expressive animals. They’re good at letting you know what you’re thinking. And yet The Call of the Wild always pushes so far that eventually you wonder why the animals just don’t talk if they’re going to be rendered in such broad strokes. This central issue cripples the rest of the picture where the majesty of the natural world is undercut by the CGI creature at the forefront. Buck is a pampered a dog living in the South during the Yukon Gold Rush. One night, Buck is kidnapped from his owners since strong, muscular dogs like Buck are good for pulling sleds. Buck eventually ends up in Alaska where he’s put on a team belonging to kindly postman Perrault ( Omar Sy). However, Buck then comes to follow John Thornton ( Harrison Ford), a lonely man looking for adventure and solace following the death of his young son and the dissolution of his marriage. Buck and John form a strong kinship, but their peace is threatened by Hal ( Dan Stevens), a murderous dandy who holds John responsible for the loss of a gold claim. Through all this, Buck is pulled closer to the wilderness and away from civilization. Image via 20th Century Fox I tend to love adventure stories like this and I’m a big fan of dogs, so The Call of the Wild should be right up my alley, but I never once felt like I was watching something real. The wilderness is untamed and unpredictable, but everything about Buck as a character is guided by a need to make sure the audience knows exactly what he’s feeling and doing at all times. The realness of the setting can’t be properly appreciated when it’s viewed through the eyes of not only a cartoon dog, but a broad interpretation of a real dog. I’m all for using CGI animals (it’s less stress and work on the genuine article), but if Call of the Wild is all about appreciating the natural world, you can’t have your protagonist be so unnatural. With cartoon Buck at the forefront of the narrative, everything else just feels like an amusement park. I get that this is a PG movie, but even with Janusz Kaminski handling the cinematography, I rarely felt transported to the Yukon or in tune with the spirit of the adventure. More often than not, I felt like I was watching a video game where my avatar was a working dog. Even when the film stops for some establishing shots of the expansive scenery, we quickly snap back to a cartoon dog doing another eye-brow raise or behaving like he’s a person trapped in a dog’s body. I do have to give a great amount of credit to Ford for not phoning in a performance where the lead character is a cartoon dog. For an old pro, this could have easily felt like a demotion, but Ford plays Thornton with a weariness and devotion that makes the character come alive. The Call of the Wild is not a great vehicle for Ford, but it’s a reminder that he’s an incredibly gifted actor, especially at this late stage of his career where he’s a different kind of performer than the A-list rogue of Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Drama directors should be lining up to cast Ford in their movies, and I wish he was getting better showcases for his talent than having to reprise roles he played in the 80s. Watching The Call of the Wild, I was frequently reminded of Disney+’s new movie Togo, which is also about a willful sled dog and the friendship he forms with his curmudgeonly master. But whereas Togo always went at the right speed and knew how to balance its story between adorable dog and veteran actor, The Call of the Wild never quite finds the right groove. If you’re looking to entertain your kids for 100 minutes with the story of a sled dog going on an adventure, Togo is the cheaper ticket and the better movie. Rating: C-.
