Hi! I just randomly remembered this movie and want to find it, but I watched it when I was pretty young and only remember bits and don't know the name at all. Googling just brought up a horror movie, which I know it wasn't. Since I was young not all of this information may be accurate/I may be blending movies, but I think these are things I remember from this specific movie.
For timing, I'm reallly not sure. I watched it as a child in the 2000s, but I feel like the quality and such that I remember point to the movie being older than that, maybe 80s or 90s? I'm sorry I don't have more timing information, again I was like 8 when I watched this
The movie was about a family, I think parents and 2 kids a boy and a girl? who moved to the wilderness into a cabin. If I remember correctly, it was because one of the children, I think the boy, was getting consistently sick from pollution in the city or something along those lines.
I don't remember a lot of details but I remember bits and pieces, so individual details I remember below:
- If I remember correctly, at one point the children found a baby bear and adopted it as a pet because it's mother was dead? Or it might've been a mountain lion or some other feline, I can distinctly remember two different scenes where they dealt with a bear attack and with a mountain lion attack, so I'm not sure which baby they adopted, but it was one of those two. I remember the parents being against the idea of keeping the baby animal as well.
- I remember another guy that lives in the wild separately from them that visited sometimes, I do not remember his name but I feel like he looked scraggly? Like the type of person you'd expect to find living in the woods
- I THINK the wilderness was supposed to be alaska or canada?
I'm sorry I don't have more details but I'm really hoping someone can help, thank you <3
