The Call of the Wild is a family drama, and it’s based on a Jack London novel about a house dog who was kidnapped from his cozy home in California and learns to embrace his natural roots when he finds himself transplanted to the Alaskan Yukon. Harrison Ford plays the main human character, and the two have quite the adventure together. The Call of the Wild was first released to theaters just over a month ago, but the studio has announced it’s will be available on digital streaming services early and is available now. This movie is great for kids who love dogs but are old enough for some of the situations these two find themselves in. In an exclusive clip for Fatherly, the stars of the movie, Harrison Ford, Omar Sy and Cara Gee, along with the director, Chris Sanders, share their favorite quality of the story’s main character, Buck, the dog. Gee says “his bravery,”adding later that “he stands up for what is right” and he’s generous. Ford says, “his indomitability, his courage, his care for and his observation of his sled team.” Sanders says the dog’s “temperament” and “kindness” adding, “he’s just such a sweet guy. Sy says the dog is “a fast learner” and that’s his favorite quality. “It’s a lovely story about how he cares for his companions,” Ford adds.
