toza-1 I have read all the listed reviews on this wonderful old film and agree with all the sentiments. I appear to be most fortunate to possess two video copies of the film, one of which is in very good condition. All the children I have shown it to have loved it. Many children these days sneer at the suggestion that anything filmed in black and white could be worth watching. However, upon viewing Sequoia, they soon realize that this is anything but the case. It is sad that when they ask where they can purchase their own copies, that the film is completely unavailable commercially. This seems strange given that it has aired on Pay TV here in Australia, albeit not for 15 years or so. Let's hope a master is discovered and given due treatment for its fans.

enkiduu This movie is a real treasure form my childhood. I remember watching it as the morning movie on San Francisco's Channel 7 while curled up next to my mother when I was about 4 r 5. To this day I think my love for wild animals and sense of loyalty stem from this movie. The theme I hold most dear from the movie is that natural enemies can become friends when both are nurtured with love. I think this movie's message is more timely now than ever before.This movie reminds me of how man gems have been made in Hollywood only to be lost with the passage of time. Maybe Channel 7 still has a print. It is worth contacting them to ask.Also, my wife is from Japan and has not had the chance to see Sequoia so I hope it becomes available on DVD so I can share it with her.

tony6a I saw this when I was in grammar school, in the 50s not realizing it was already 20 years old! I would love to see it again. I seem to remember reading an article about film preservation that said prints for Sequoia were not available anymore. Let's hope one pops up and a video and dvd follows. I picked up a Sequoia "big/little book" at a book sale with stills from the movie on every other page. If you are familiar with the movie you will know what big little books are, I guess.

LaDonna-3 If someone out there, anywhere, has a copy of this movie, I would dearly love to have it and get to see it again. It's been stuck in my mind since I was a little girl and watched it as a television movie. This could be a great family movie and excellent for kids -- including big kids of all ages -- especially animal lovers.
