About 20th Century Studios’ The Call of the Wild
Adapted from the novel by Jack London, it vividly brings to the screen the story of Buck, a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life is turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Canadian Yukon during the Gold Rush of the 1890s.
As the newest rookie on a mail delivery dog sled team–and later its leader–Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime, ultimately finding his true place in the world and becoming his own master.
As a live-action/animation hybrid, THE CALL OF THE WILD visual effects and animation technology in order to bring the animals in the film to life.
THE CALL OF THE WILD is directed by Chris Sanders and stars Harrison Ford, Omar Sy, Dan Stevens, Karen Gillan, Bradley Whitford, Cara Gee, Michael Horse, Jean Louisa Kelly, Colin Woodell, Adam Fergus and Abraham Benrubi.

More Ways to Expand Learning with The Call of the Wild
First off, if you have not read the book…get a copy and do so. The shopping link below takes you to the paperback copy of the original text on Amazon. You can get it on Kindle for less or in hardback for more.
My favorite discussion to have with the boys is how a book and the movie based on it differ.
This Disney movie is an adaptation of the novel, but not a verbatium production.
Did you know there are multiple movie adaptations of the book?
The 1972 version starred movie great Charlton Heston.
In 2012, a version with Christopher Lloyd was released. It is not as highly regarded though.
Plus, there is a mini-series for TV version as well.
If your child really likes comparisions, add in one of the other movie versions to see how each approached the overall story.
And see if they prefer using their imagination while reading compared to seeing it on the screen.
You can find a ready to use study of the novel on EdHelper. It is for grades 6 through 9, although you can modify up or down.
