"...It is IRON WILL's double charm that its aspirations are humble and straightforward and that it fulfills them so completely....Brightly and vividly shot..." 01/14/1994 p.F1 Washington Post 7 of 10
...Disney's dog-sledding adventure Iron Will is brisk and involving and surprisingly adult, its cinematic strength drawn mainly from the beauty of panting teams of huskies muscling their way across snowy landscapes. Which is a sight you can never grow tired of. - David Mills
