What critics compared Eight Below to
Togo isn’t the first live-action dog-heavy film from Disney, of course; one of the titles the algorithm may recommend to you after you watch the new movie is Eight Below, starring the late Paul Walker and a lot of Siberian huskies.
Heck, Disney has made a minor cottage industry out of them, from Eight Below to Iron Will.
What do Homeward Bound , Eight Below , Balto and upcoming The Call of the Wild have in common with the latest live-action film to debut on Disney+?
From “Iron Will” to “Snow Dogs” to “Eight Below,” the studio’s executives clearly have a soft spot for rugged frontier tales of tough Arctic men and their canine companions.
When Togo was announced, I assumed it would be around the same lines, pull at the heartstrings, but overall just a snow dog movie like the multiple other films on the platform like Eight Below or Iron Will.
