Togo is the true story set in the winter of 1925 of champion dogsled trainer Leonhard Seppala and his lead sled dog, Togo. Together, they embark on an adventure across the treacherous terrain of Alaska to transport medicine to a small town.

Critics Consensus

An endearing and exciting underdog story that benefits greatly from its stars (canine and human alike), Togo is a timeless tale, well-told.

4/5

Even fans of Dafoe's ever-more-Hemingway-esque career trajectory will find a lot to relish.

4/5

The film's particular breed of old-school Disneyosity - a sweetly earnest, action-filled tale of the bond between man and beast - feels like an ideal tonic.

3/5

Togo is in a slightly more sombre register than Call Of The Wild but delivers similar sturdy pleasures; exciting dog-in-peril action and striking landscapes, all anchored by Dafoe's grounded performance.

4/5

It is unashamedly sentimental feel-good fare, with lots of cute furry critters, some nailbiting action, and plenty of breathtaking mountainscapes.

Togo...is a great film because it has the wisdom to tell, with superb skill, tenacity, and realism, the story of a man and his dog, whom it honors and exalts with its odyssey. [Full review in Spanish]

A family film, very moving. Illustrating the friendship connection and strength between human and dog. Hairy in some parts, moving in others. Definitely worth a watch.

Is it the Dafoe effect? I don't know. Pretty unlikely and sappy acting.

One of the best movies I have seen. Right up there with Sea Biscuit. Tells the story of the true hero of the diphtheria epidemic in Alaska, not Balto, it was Togo.

One of the best movies I've seen in years. I'm a 60 year old guy and I usually don't cry watching a movie. However, I cried like a baby during the last 5 minutes of this movie. Fair warning. Have some tissue at the ready.

Great dog movie! I would have liked it to be longer and the story a bit more clear as to what is happening exactly at any given time. Other than that it's a great film.
