Togo is an early Disney+ offering and this quietly epic film feels just right for the streaming service. I'm a sucker for hero dog stories so as soon as I saw the trailer, I knew I had to give it a watch. Being based on a little known true story only helped seal the deal.
Dafoe is suitably craggy as the sledge driver and Nicholson provides great support as his wife and believer in the worth of Togo as a pup. The landscape is absolutely stunning - and nicely contrasted (summer when Togo is a pup and winter for the main body of the tale).
Verdict: A true shaggy dog story.
