Dale R Starring Patrick Wayne as a military vet that lodges on a lake near a Native American settlement. While there he adopts three bear cubs that lost their mother to hunters. Most of the movie is narrated by Wayne’s character. I’m not a fan of this form of storytelling because a movie is a visual narrative and shouldn’t be told to you, but shown. If a family movie about cute bear cubs seems like your thing, then check this movie out.

It blends the nature docu-movies the studio made popular in the 1950's with a decidedly 1970's envirinmental attitude. It isn't great, but it has a surprising amount of heart that makes it hard to discount. Patrick Wayne plays Bob Leslie. He has just returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam and he is a lost soul. He heads into the wilderness to visit the native american father of a friend who was killed in the war. Leslie loves the beautiful scenery and the lake. He stays there for a while, alone in a cabin. One day he sees a black bear with her three small cubs. When she is killed he adopts the three bears. More mature than most Disney films of that period. It suffers from an all-too-obvious attempt at being topical, but is still better than I ever expected it to be.
