Chicago Sun-Times
Remarkable, how in a film where we know with an absolute certainty that all or most of the dogs must survive, "Eight Below" succeeds as an effective story. It works by focusing on the dogs. To be sure, the guide Jerry (Paul Walker) never stops thinking about them, but there's not much he can do.
Roger Ebert
San Francisco Chronicle
"Eight Below" is a Disney film that is "inspired by a true story," which means that events that appear to be happening to a white dude from Oregon in 1993 are actually based on the experiences of some Japanese guys in 1958.

The story of the endurance of a pack of hardy sled dogs easily brings a lump to the throat of dog lovers — and in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit to a weakness for movies with canines that are triumphing in the face of adversity.
