Jack the Bitterroot Beagle overcomes treacherous obstacles, injury, and an encounter with Bigfoot, in his adventurous quest for the Golden Bone. In this movie, director John Williams incorporates a funny, adventurous storyline, over 40 talking dogs and characters, special effects and a soundtrack to provide a unique theatrical and educational experience for children and families. Canine wisecracks fly like frisbees as Jack romps through his own picturesque playground in Montana's beautiful Bitterroot Valley. Whether balancing on a log over a roaring stream, mingling with moose, or scurrying from a Sasquatch, Jack displays natural acting skills that will entertain the whole family.
