Review: I don't enjoy pet movies. I always found them somewhat dull. My wife is much the same. However we both agreed that Winn-Dixie was a quality movie, and I would state that it isn't just a pet movie. It far surpasses that genre. For anyone with children this will become an automatic classic but isn't a bad watch for anyone looking for a gentle film.
