Product Description:
Based on a book by Henry Williamson and in the tradition of THE BEAR and THE ADVENTURES OF MILO & OTIS, TARKA THE OTTER is the live-action chronicle of the life of an orphaned otter and his adventures through the English countryside. TARKA is a terrific (but realistically portrayed) family film.
Product Description:
TARKA THE OTTER, based on the Henry Williamson book, is the classic story of one otter's life in the English countryside. A female otter is delighted when she gives birth to a son, Tarka. She lovingly protects him from danger, which results in her having to confront Deadlock, the evil leader of a pack of bloodthirsty hounds. Although she saves Tarka, she is killed, and Tarka, still a cub, sets off to fend for himself. Times are hard but Tarka eventually falls in love and raises a family. Eventually he is forced into a confrontation with the dreaded Dreadlock, in a tragic battle for the right to live. With narration by Peter Ustinov and a screenplay by the naturalist and author Gerald Durrell Tarka the Otter is a British film classic. While a family film, it is a realistic portrayal of the countryside, and as such contains some scenes that young children and animal lovers may find upsetting.
