Left me in tears. Togo , the most heroic animal known in history indeed.

[@vikistefanus8510]

AGREE!

[@Willbo-ft6oy]

Left me in tears too but for very different reasons than most dog movies.

[@romayora5844]

And the statue of Balto at New York. It was sad that Togo didn’t get recognized till like, A DECADE later. I always looked up to balto... what a huge disappointment. Togo is my new favorite animal hero, along with Spirit, and a book character that also died a hero

[@joanfos4890]

So glad to learn Togo's heroism. Glad to have more facts. Too long for the truth to come out.

[@alexahenderson1044]

I just watched it an hour ago and it left me in floods of tears too. It was such a powerful film! Absolutely amazing

[@ThatMissQuin]

I watched it last night and I am so happy they did right by Togo and his owner.

[@Sleddogracer]

being a musher myself, and knowing some of the dog people involved behind the scenes, I loved the movie - it's the first time I've seen or heard of Julianne Nicholson - I was very impressed with her and her performance and I hope this movie leads to other starring roles for her

[@joeseward9466]

People still mush? Legit question.

[@Sleddogracer]

for sure - at the IFSS World Championships there are teams from countries around the world, from both the southern and northern hemispheres - it's actually a growing sport with 1000 s of sled dog kennels in the US and Canada ( IFSS = International Federation of Sleddog Sports )

[@joeseward9466]

@@Sleddogracer oh cool honestly thought like animal rights people would be all over that stuff lol.

[@Sleddogracer]

they've been trying, but they use mis-information in their claims - they seem to be losing headway with sled dog kennels and now the law is stepping in and starting to lay charges for illegal trespass - had some of t he crazy AR types target my kennel with lies and phony BS, but the SPCA and my vet backed us all the way, to say nothing of the 100's of people that we do business with or had come for sleddog rides, who all made positive comments about the kennel - the AR crazies seemed to fade away after that - they pull all sorts of BS - the woman who started the target against us admitted later that she had lied so she could pose as a volunteer and 'gather evidence' - he evidence included a picture of one dog's days worth of dog poop that she had volunteered to pick up - the kennel is cleaned daily as a matter of practice so she had to manufacture evidence lol - it was a stressful period for us, but rewarding on the other hand to see the amount of positive support we had

[@snopeak]

@@joeseward9466 indeed, I'm a commentator at international events where we have had around 20 countries competing and over 300 competitors.

[@valsammajoseph421]

Togo and Dafoe should win Oscar this year

[@amyferguson8258]

This movie is breathtaking! All those dogs are heroes but glad to see Togo finally getting the recognition he deserved! Amazing!

[@Willbo-ft6oy]

When Willem said he'd never had a dog or even a pet his entire life, my heart broke a little inside.

[@thudthud5423]

I just watched "Togo". The end credits are rolling as I speak and paused this video at the :03 mark. I had to let anyone curious about the move that it is fantastic. Willem Defoe's acting is great and the story and directing are just as fantastic. If you're a dog lover, this is a movie for you.

[@yvorfalcon3025]

And it shows beautiful Alaska

[@tannisgiesbrecht3253]

I have watched this movie. It was fantastic. I did not know Julianna as a actor. She proved herself as an amazing. Actress. Best scene when Tōgō came out of the roof and she says Good Afternoon . I loved the scene of Tōgō causing Dafoe into the lake. I have watched it over a dozen times. Told so many to watch. Good family movie.

[@essji9302]

FINALLY TOGO GETS THE PROPER RECOGNITION FOR HIS HEROISM!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@CommandereON]

A film that showed how lazy journalists and mediamen could be leading to misinformation.

[@febrie9709]

Yes....

[@PaxDisturbia]

Good one. Unfortunately, it's much more agenda driven than just laziness in today's world.

[@symon1637]

An extraordinary movie, great actors, very emotional. Bravoooooo

[@febrie9709]

Best actor...oscar

[@NeemuitdieVerlede]

I could sit and listen to William Dafoe for hours, what a brilliant intelligent man.

[@boubou665]

Togo,Balto and all the dogs worked for the medicines to reach in the village are heroes, end of story.

[@yanthzromeja1808]

I watch this movie for 5 times now. And still cant stop from crying.ilove u togo.u are indeed the best.

[@DARCAM2012]

IT IS VERY POWERFUL FOR ME WHEN THEY CROSS THE LAKE THE FIRST TIME AND HE SINGS TO THE DOGS. AMAZING. DYSNEY'S ESSENCE STILL LIVES.

[@cloudk2030]

Favorite movie of all time

[@MegaJan4u]

What a great movie. I have been a fan of Willem Dafoe since the early 80`s,when he had the role of Raven in the Bombers MC from Streets of fire movie and the sledgehammer fight is just great. Leonhard Seppala is my great grandfathers couisin,from the north of Norway where he was born and i am from. Willem looks quite a bit like him in person and i think he was a good choice actor for this part. He is great in anything he does on the screen anyway.

[@supriya55]

exceptional moving story and film

[@mfeltrin1]

OMG I loved the movie and after seeing this love just how down to earth Willem and Julianne really are... WOW... I had a Siberian yrs ago and could escape like Togo did it really made me miss her watching this movie xoxo

[@leeweeey2957]

you make me cry buckets togo❤

[@arasyard]

I guess Seppala now got what he truly deserve as well, and Togo too..now they can have the recognition they deserve..Togo the starter, Balto the finisher..they are all heroes lets not forget

[@Ultra_Ken]

Absolutely love this movie. hats off to the real Togoand this movie doing him justice.

[@CrownOfBloodOfficial]

We are a production unit and watched this film , it’s one of iconic movie till date !!! And willem is always a gem !!

[@FriedTurian]

Just watched the movie with my Sibe beside me , best dog & friends you'll get , you'll never feel lonely with a Sibe by your side 👍

[@tjrez6786]

Great movie .I hope he wins an award for his acting in this .

[@amyfrazier3318]

Love the part where she says: "Good luck little one" in the movie!

[@odlanorirom]

...cinematography is great as well...

[@bitflux2]

she was magical in the film too, fantastic work

[@sisterdebmac]

Thank you Ricky for another great interview with Julianne. That Dafoe guy's pretty cool too. :-)

[@waynechen3709]

I just watched the movie I’m crying my eyes out

[@sugarplumfairy20101]

I find they were very rude with Julianne, she was left aside during this interview. I wish audience had better questions, we hear always the same ones.

[@rheanonjasmyne]

This was a most beautiful film, and I got so ANGRY hearing about balto, UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mhamedben9002]

I did too , I think Togo should of been the dog in the statue in central park , but the movie undermined a bit what balto did , he rode 80 miles to arrive to Nome in a full blizzard while his trainer couldn't see anything so balto guided them 80 miles relying only on his scent . Both Balto and Togo are try heroes

[@Willbo-ft6oy]

Balto is still a good doggo but I'm glad Togo got his moment in the spotlight.

[@chefmike8177]

I don't think anyone should get mad about hearing about Balto, should Togo have gotten the statue? Sure, he did the hardest and most work after all, but it isn't a competition, the only reason that serum ever got delivered was because of teamwork, without Balto, Togo and all of the other dogs, many many people would've died, both of them are incredible dogs with incredible stories.

[@mfeltrin1]

@@chefmike8177 I'm with you it is sad Togo didn't get his true recognition but thanks to Disney he sure is now. You are right lets not hate on a dog that did work hard too and is not guilty of anything other than being a team player.

[@isolemnlyswearthatimuptono5016]

As far as I can tell Balto was still one of Leonard's dogs

[@peterw1213]

Always loved dogs. Loved this movie ! Great Cast ! The only thing that gets to me is credit was not given to credit due for Togo's team. Even until today it has not been fully rectified yet to the public.

[@MiaHessMusic]

I really enjoyed the movie and this was a very thoughtful, well-done interview.

[@mfeltrin1]

I agree

[@gordonstoughton6026]

Brilliant film loved watching it

[@Adrian-uc4ox]

Great movie, this film and Call of the Wild are the two in recent times that stand out as future Classics,

[@dennisdecosta4480]

Marvelously done I felt so much love went into this making of this movie, it just leaves you so emotional your heart is tumping away U just feel so good Wilma Juliana Greatnesses ❤️

[@nhlclcjed7374]

Togo was good movie to watch..

[@PaxDisturbia]

Not taking anything away from Willem, who was brilliant, Julianne was perfect.

[@videoscissors8561]

Goosebumps

[@ceciliapreziose3783]

saw it on utube, 3xs. didn't know it was copyrighted and shouldnt be on..........this movie is great going to buy it

[@1984darlene]

Very good movie ❤️

Great movie.

Melhor filme da atualidade...

[@jasonr428]

The movie was great!

[@sereneroseblanca9798]

That moment in the movie when the asian look girl in the roadhouse said that Togo's dying 😭 Yo gurl you just made me cry

[@jokester3076]

She was Native American

[@masterpogi1818]

That woman! I thought togos gonna die because of over work and fatigue,

[@olegkopylov816]

Отличный фильм

[@hassanissack3525]

Top move I like it Togo

[@TheOriginalHeisenberg]

TOGO took it personal.

[@kms4986]

Ok, this may be the dog movie for me.

[@JaredLaswell]

Why do trailers have to show the whole movie

[@shuilynmua8584]

Get ready to cry .

[@johndoa4839]

A third of the cost of call of the wild but 10 times better

[@KakashiTheFirst]

They look good together, I'm just saying. Like they're already a married couple.

[@2c80b5]

我看了，非常喜欢。😘

[@tnfvrs]

Julianne is so beautiful

[@TayraGreen]

Didn't let them work in -40! I had to stand outside of school in a uniform skirt for 30 minutes every morning before they would let us in at -40 lolol

[@febrie9709]

Nominasi oscar best actor....

[@Mr_Tea_Rexx]

they should of kept the real ending in text form on the altered ending

[@pentevlog1499]

Great movie. The only problem I have is the VIP treatment given to animals that people never got. I do believe in animal abuse, but after hearing this, they say you can abuse anyone human and keep them going, but when it comes to animals, don't let them get scratch

[@ImranKhan-lc5iy]

I LOVE TOGO.😘😘😘😘😊 But TOGO LOVES Only Seppala.....

[@ElectroDrives]

One of my all-time favourite films was "The Hunter" (2011). It's about Willem's character searching for the last remaining Tasmanian Tiger (which is known to be extinct) for a biotech corporation. It's an incredibly moving film and I highly recommend people to watch it (for a film buff, it's quite slow for the average viewer).

[@abhishekshukla9542]

Need Togo's Statue in New York Central park

[@elenarodriguez7809]

There's one downtown in the Lower East Side in Manhattan! Fun Fact: I actually grew up and still live in that neighborhood!

[@TheOriginalHeisenberg]

I can't take my eyes off her.

[@northernmetis]

Was a excellent movie. Balto was our hero until this movie

[@chefmike8177]

@Steam Queen Seppala said that Togo's taxidermy was incredibly well done when he went to go see it himself in the 60s, I personally think it's a fantastic way to honor such incredible dogs.

[@UlvFraNord]

@Steam Queen I'm sure that's because people continously were able to ''pet'' it and pull out fur out of the dead body.

[@Wally-pu2hh]

What happened to julian's face ?

[@Wally-pu2hh]

9:30 yeah he's remembering that bed with her

[@johnyates6371]

Great movie, people are lining up to get the DVD but its still not available because communist Disney is holding back to increase Disney + subscriptions
