That night, Neewa tries to climb a tree for a safe place to sleep. He’s back! Lebeau comes out of hiding to rage over how little the dog ate and how that won’t kill him, but Makoki spots the erratic dog tracks which might just mean they got him. In his determination the break free of the struggling bear cub, Nikki breaks the leather string. A narrator who sounds a lot like the narrator for Sleeping Beauty but isn’t introduces us to Nikki the Malamute puppy and his kindly master, Andre Dupas. Nikki struggles to help but he’s tied to the cage. But Nikki tries to help anyway, and actually gets the killer bear away so Neewa can climb down to safety. But it’s not Noozak at all. Lebeau forgives Nikki completely for robbing his traps. I sincerely hope the dogfighting was staged, but even then, they tied a bear cub and a puppy together and let the cub climb a tree! On screen. I'm a sassy snarky salt bucket lucky enough to live in Orlando, Florida. I’m glad there wasn’t much to it so I could get it overwith lol. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. Andre investigates the cut rope and silently thanks Makoki. And now they’re best friends for life.

I told myself that they repeated movie-making tricks from Old Yeller again, muzzling the combatants and playing sounds of snarling over them, but there’s no information whatsoever on this movie to confirm or deny that. Nikki whines and steps towards Andre.

Despite many fights, they eventually become friends and remain together even after their leash breaks. And it only gets worse from here. So that’s great.


Wow! He almost leaves it, but curiosity gets the better of him so he returns to lick it. The snarls become joyful barks as he leaps into his master’s arms and for just a moment, all is doggie kisses and ear scritches. He’s mischevious and tends to get his nose into things he shouldn’t like a bee tree. Lebeau notices something keeps stealing his bait without having the decency to stay in the trap. Lebeau lowers Nikki’s cage into a pit, but there are no takers! 5.0 out of 5 stars Nikki: Wild Dog Of The North. Still, it’s presented as an accident when Nikki knocks Neewa down a ridge, so I’ll go with it for the sake of the recap. Favorite scene: At the very beginning, Andre has a little chat with puppy Nikki where he warns him not to mess with bear cubs while snuggling with him (pictured above). A vicious wolverine has his eye on the kill. By the time Andre can pry him off to prevent more bloodshed, Lebeau isn’t moving. The boat careens over a huge waterfall. The bear cub snuggles up inside and falls asleep.

With the trap snapped, he’s able too make off with the food. Neewa sneaks in as the wolverine and lynx duke it out to snatch what’s left of the rabbit. on November 16, 2018, Walt Disney  Tells the story of Nikki (Wild Dog of the North) Disneyland Records, There are no reviews yet.
