I watched both movies. "White Fang" and "White Fang 2". Those two films were great.

I have always loved White Fang, the original movie. My dad taped it off of ABC back in 1994 or so, and we've worn out that tape after years of playing it (it also had Big Business, The Berenstein Bears, and Mickey's The Prince and the Pauper, among other things). I'd get the DVD, except for the stupid idea to put it in P&S while the sequel is in OAR.

I have never seen these movies, what are they both about?

White Fang is an adaptation of the Jack London novel, it's essentially a wild wolf that gets tamed by a teenage boy. It takes place during the Alaskan gold rush, and I can't remember Ethan Hawke's character (Jack?), but he goes to Alaska to mine at his father's claim, and an older man (friend of his father) helps him. I think there's also three bad guys who really aren't bad guys as they get caught easily later on...

White Fang 2, if I remember correctly, is entirely made up by Disney, as there was no sequel written by London.

UD has a review for White Fang 2, but not White Fang.

White Fang's a great family movie by Disney, and deserves better DVD treatment (it's P&S which sucks ass, and as is the case with every other 90s film by Disney, is barebones as well).

Correct me if I am wrong.

The Dutch version of White Fang is widescreen

I've been wishing for a widescreen version of White Fang for years. I believe it was filmed open-matte. I've been tempted to buy it and use the settings on my projector lop off the top and bottom of the picture myself.
