Just a slog to sit through, as are most of Disney's many other films of this kind.

'Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar' doesn't have anything to it and is just barely strung together to form a plot. I didn't enjoy it, mainly as the film gave me no reason to. It has the usual questionable animal welfare from this era, while there is hardly any acting involved.

Rex Allen does an OK job with narration, but the likes of Ron Brown and Brian Russell fail to bring anything to the table in terms of the human performances in this. The animals are naturally cute, but the earlier mentioned questions constantly arise when they are onscreen.

As with the Disney films that preceded this in 'The Legend of Lobo' and 'Nikki, Wild Dog of the North' and the ones that followed in 'King of the Grizzlies' and 'A Tale of Two Critters', this is a film that I found tedious to watch. I will say, the only positive is that the logging stuff is interesting.
