Update 3: Bristle Face

 

I have completely watched this movie at regular speed. Next to Phillip Alford and some men, there are also 2 brief scenes of a very young boy in bib. One at 56 minutes (pictured, front view, also showing a man and Jace) and one at 1h14, walking rear and front view.

There are also soaked wet scenes of the teen boy near the end but dark lit, and ripped and so hardly to notice.

Somehow a quite weak plot (I think the novel is much better) and a typical (dog-boy) Disney movie. Other movies like Rascal (Bill Mumy, Rating 6) are better (actor and plot) but I don't like the rear view of the bibs with simple straps. I have several other classic and new Disney movies. I wonder why they usually have older teens at the end of their career. Here the character should look like 13 but is 15/16 looking not younger.

The highest rated similar Disney movies are Where the Red Fern Grows (2003) rating 8 and Summer of the Monkeys (rating 6). Also similar Big Red (1962) rating 4. Non-Disney: The Sun Comes Up, rating 7. Another good Disney movie, younger boy is Pete's Dragon (1977) and Balloon Farm (girl, boys) rating 6.

Main entry, still rating 7
