Finding Rin Tin Tin movie

I came across the DVD movie "Finding Rin Tin Tin" (the 2007 movie) by Millennium Films.

What a GREAT family movie - I sure recommend it for you and/or your whole family.

Very well done, with lots of humor.

It's based on a TRUE story!

I remember as a kid in the 1950s they did a Rin Tin Tin series for TV, so knew the name as soon as I saw the DVD.

What I did not know was that there was a real life Rin Tin Tin. What a story, on the back it says:

"The story of the legendary German Shepherd who was found in France during World War I by American pilot Lee Duncan. Corporal Duncan, determined to keep his furry friend in his platoon, decides to put the expertise of a POW dog handler to use and trains Rin Tin Tin to assist the troops. With patience and kindness, the puppy grows into a first-class soldier and battlefield hero. After the Great War, Rin Tin Tin returns home with Duncan and goes on to become one of Hollywood's top animal stars appearing in over 14 feature films from 1920-1931."

The special features are very fine and quite revealing as to how they did the movie.

Definitely a movie to buy and be a part of your true story movie collection - a great movie for the whole family, and based on the true story of finding Rin Tin Tin. Two thumbs up on this one.
