Why did the ferret have to die ?


That was uncalled for, it ruined the ending of this epic movie

I was in tears for 20 minutes after he died

Tonya was a ride though

The tiger thought so too :)

Mixed feelings here.

Yeah, it was tough on the little guy, but on the other hand, the ferrets were bloody annoying anyway. Disney-ish calculated "cute" in a movie really irks me.


You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

I know right, that was sad. It was like they lost a battle.

nah, I'm sure the kid was a trouble maker or something...the Ferret death scene and the dog's death were the worst for me and my girlfriend. she cries ever time.

Brian, there's a message in my AlphaBits. It says "OOOOOO".
Peter, those are Cheerios.

Your opinion is understandable. I always thought that part was sad when I was much younger and even today. I watched it yesterday and felt the same way I did over ten years ago. Don't forget though, the ferret died to save Dar's life.

It was just a movie. The ferret dog and kid didn't really die. I don't get why people get so bent out of shape over something that isn't real.

What, can't a story evoke feelings? Have you never, ever wished a movie would've turned out differently, just because it "isn't real anyway"?

codo refused to sign a deal for a sequel unless he got a big raise, so they decided to get rid of his character
