- Quotes
Narrator: [Charlie, after having caused some havoc on the logger's river drive earlier, is shown being chained to Jess Bradley's truck] The long chain of circumstances that started on the river drive finally ended up back at the mill - with Charlie on the short end. You see, when the Big Boss started adding lost man hours to mangled groceries to busted-up Wanigans, he decided to subtract one cougar. And he ordered Jess to keep a curb on that cat.
Narrator: Charlie didn't like the new setup at all. He had the growing feeling that he was getting' left out, put upon, and neglected. What's more, he was just plain bored.

The film is beautiful, not only in narrative, but the landscape of Washington state was used extensively. Winston Hibler, the director was an avid choice for such a task, as he had directed and produced Disney nature documentaries (True Life Adventure series) in the 1950s.
The star of the movie, Charlie the cougar was very believable and was obviously coached well. It must have been a hard job to train him.
There are two scenes that he was great in. The first was when he happened upon some barn cats drinking milk, and being just a big house cat, he joined in. The second scene was Charlie riding logs down a waterway through the woods. I'm very surprised they were able to get him to do that.
A great ending, as were most Disney family films of the time.
