The Citizen (Gauteng)

No tail to wag here

- Peter Feldman

Sgt Stubby is a stilted animated feature, based on a true story, that falls between two stools. It won’t appeal to the younger brigade because of its subject matter - World War I - and it won’t attract adult viewers.

With World War I looming, Robert Conroy (voice by Logan Lerman), a young Army private, adopts a stray, stump-tailed terrier. Conroy names his new friend Stubby.

French soldier Gaston Baptiste (Gérard Depardieu) befriends the duo and accompanie­s them along their epic journey through harsh conditions and incredible acts of courage.
