Eight Below

Paul Walker is the owner of a sleddog team in Anartica and guides those who come down to visit the south pole. During the last hike of the season a major storm appears and him and the visiting geologist barely make it back to the control center alive. Being told they'd come right back for his dogs, they rush em out to the main base, however the storm has picked up and there's no way for them to get back until next season.

Apparently it's based on a true story that actually happened 13 years ago, in which the 8 dogs were on their own for over 200 days before their owner could make it back down to them.

It reminded me of Homeward Bound, but with out the animal voiceovers with a mix of Cool Runnings or any other Disney movie that's based on a true story. It was sad too in some parts. Take the kids, you'll enjoy it somewhat.
