From Amazon.com
Rereleased on video 30 years after its initial release, this classic Disney movie about a motherless cougar looks great, if not quite perfect. Originally filmed in 1967 in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the scenery and wildlife are absolutely spectacular. The story is somewhat formulaic, but entertaining just the same. A forester named Jess adopts an abandoned cougar he names Charlie, nursing him from an eyedropper and enduring many sleepless nights in the process. As Charlie grows, he's a fixture in the local logging community, where mischief abounds and laughs are plentiful. When Charlie enters his teenage years, his natural curiosity and playfulness begin to hinder the logging process, and Jess is forced to release his beloved friend. Highlights include several comic chase scenes between Charlie and a terrier named Chainsaw, an amazing logrolling sequence in which Charlie shows off some fancy footwork, and a toboggan ride that Charlie and his viewers will remember for a long time. All in all, this 75-minute adventure-comedy is perfect for the whole family. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Synopsis
A wayward cougar in the Northwoods wanders into a lumber camp in this animal adventure story from Disney Studios. Charlie is torn between his affection for humans and the call of the wild. Rex Allen provides his usual folksy narration in this documentary-styled feature directed by Winston Hibler. Charlie is rescued as an abandoned orphan by a concerned forester. He becomes the mascot of the lumber camp, but his growing size necessitates his return to life in the wild for the human-friendly cat. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
