The Dog of Flanders

Movie • 1997 • Animation  

Report
Poor but happy, young Nello and his grandfather live alone, delivering milk as a livelihood, in the outskirts of Antwerp, a city in Flanders (the Flemish or Dutch-speaking part of modern-day Belgium). They discover a beaten dog (a Bouvier, a large sturdy dog native to Flanders) and adopt it and nurse it back to health, naming it Patrasche, the middle name of Nello's mother Mary, who died when Nello was very young. Nello's mother was a talented artist, and like his mother, he delights in drawing, and his friend Aloise is his model and greatest fan and supporter.

Though there is one comment of a character in the movie that insinuates the townsfolk might suspect that the 9 year olds might have sex (because no one knows what they're up to when they're together) and it would hurt her reputation to keep seeing the boy.
