12 Films of Christmas: Lassie (2005)

This holiday favorite from Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas shows us a new spin on a classic story: In England on the eve of World War II, an impoverished Yorkshire family must sell young Joe’s (Jonathan Mason) beloved dog Lassie to the Duke (Peter O’T oole). Lassie escapes the Duke’s estate over and over again to return to her beloved Joe, who must eventually lie to the dog and tell her he no longer loves her so that she will stop escaping. The Duke then takes her up to Scotland, but Lassie escapes the Duke’s cruel kennel-man and begins the long trek back to Yorkshire, and to Joe. Along the way, she encounters everything from the Loch Ness monster to a traveling entertainer (Peter Dinklage). Will Lassie make it home in time for Christmas?
