◇Comments: Real shocking and touching
Dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings! No matter who was the first to sigh this sentence, he must have felt deeply. And in the worst environment, the dog's loyalty is even more vividly displayed, just like the 8 cute, strong and loyal huskies in "Minus Octave", even under the threat of blizzard and ice and snow, they still try their best to protect themselves their human companions; even abandoned in the Antarctic winter, they are still united, stubbornly living by their survival instinct, and even trusting that their human friends will come to their rescue. In this way, the human beings in the film really seem a little cold-blooded and ruthless!
Disney's animal films have always been well-known, and the remake of a powerful Japanese film has added a lot of confidence to "Minus Octave". What's even more applauded is that it also avoids the criticism of other Disney's animal films--neither let the animals speak human words, nor let them have too humane and sensational expressions. Frank Marshall, who served as the assistant director of the "Indiana Jones" trilogy, "Back to the Future" and "The Galloping Age", took a similar style to the documentary filming those sled dogs struggling to survive in the ice and snow, real Shocking and touching, it has become the real killer of "Minus Octave".
