love love love this song and the movie..my favourite animal movie of all times..i still have tears in my eyes when i watch it..because it´s so sweet..i always wanted to have a "benji" ...but i don´t know what kind of dog it is...anybody knows it?
For me, Benji is one of the memories of childhood was filled with parental love. Childhood, bright sunlight, the city streets, I will never forget. This movie is your childhood itself.
This is the very first movie my parents took me to as a child and I fell madly in love with Benji. How could you not fall head over heels for that adorable little face? Thanks so much for posting - brings back some really happy memories for me.
i luv this song from ever since i was first born. this was the first song i ever listened to in my whole life ! lol... this is my favorite movie..RIP BENJI :'(
I was just 9 years old when I finally get to meet & see Benji and his owner/trainer Frank Inn in San Jose, Ca! They where giving out Benji's pictures & autographs & I was SO HAPPY to have one. That was the HAPPIEST time of my life!!
@candyrnld - Oh, wow you got to meet Benji? I'm so envious .... I was 6 years old (38 now) when I first saw "Benji". It was my favorite movie back then - and I still love it. Lucky, lucky you. That must have been a wonderful experience.
@candyrnld - Nice to "meet" other Benji lovers. There's just so much meanness online (including some YouTube comments), so it's always lovely to "get together" with like-minded people who enjoy the same things :-)
I loved Benji. I didn't have a clue that Benji was 14 yrs old in this movie, would u believe that!?! O__O And in the future films, Benjean who is Benji's daughter was acting, not Benji. Benji died year after this movie was made. :( R.I.P Benji / Higgins!!!! ♥
@wilob9 lol! yeh, and it's a pity to have to say so... "Oh, sure he's like 40 years old and retired in Napa doing wine tasting while enjoying the company his 68 great-grand-puppies...." Wouldn't that be something? I'm rewatching all the flicks and I feel like the best thing about Benji is there doesn't seem to be any overstimulating hollywood goofiness. Benji just IS.
I remember this movie and this song when I was young. There is something so pure and good about this song's message. It's like a reminder about what's really important in life. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Love the movie, love the song. I wish this song could be found in Mp3 form. I'd love to have it on my iPod. It's a song that makes you want to smile when all you really want to do is cry.
I saw this when I was about 6 or 7 and loved it. I'm now 18 and still love it. After I graduate college and get my own place the first thing I'm doing is getting a dog. But remember, the dog picks you, you don't pick the dog. I love Benji!
This is one of the best songs ever. I like rock, country and metal, sure, but this song is one of my favourite songs and it's NOT a rock/metal/emo/punk style. :D
I watched this movie when I was a child. I started crying when the little girl did, when the father wouldn't let the children keep Benji, then when Tiffany, that cute little Maltie was kicked and all through the part where Benji ran to the childrens house. I loved this movie, why is it not on You Tube?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OMG!
No wonder you Americans voted for Carter during the 70s. Fag music and movies like this were hording the screens and radios you guys were brainwashed!!
I would love to find the sheet music to this song. I have a program on my computer that lets me make my own ring tones and this would be cute to have as a ring tone. I can read music, and some things I can play by ear, but to compose it by oneself would be vary hard for me.
I love all the original Benji movies. Benji Off The Leash was not my favorite. That one was more about the boy than the dog. I wish I could find a download version of this song. It describes the way my animals make me feel every day.
@smorriskc I am SO sorry about your dog): I had a cat that had to be put to sleep, he had cancer and was suffering, he couldn't eat, or sleep, and toward the end couldn't go to the bathroom. He was eighteen years old.
There are five Benji films out and out of them all, the first and second, starring Higgins (the first movie) and Benjean (the second movie) are my favorite of the lot.
The third one, Oh Heavenly Dog was a major step in the wrong direction, the fourth: Benji The Hunted was very good but lacked the punch of the first two films.
Benji Off The Leash is good in it's own way, but I dislike the dog who played Benji (the third Benji now) and some aspects of the film seemed odd.
Oh yeah, my ranking of the dog actors of Benji are tied between Higgins and Benjean as the best, with the most recent Benji as the worst.
Also, just so you all know, Higgins, a male Benji was only on the original Benji (died the next year), so his daughter Benjean replaced him on For The Love Of Benji and continued through to Benji The Hunted, while appearing on Benji specials along with Tv shows.
The new Benji, a female only starred in Off The Leash.
How do people make those little black hearts like the one on DanniMaytee X's comment where it says I copy &and paste lol? I am in my 30's and I still wanna watch benji. If you are a true fan why loose it because of a silly thing like age? That is just a stupid number.
I don't know many people (except us) that remember this when we were growing up. I was born in 68. Thanks for posting this. It brings back some great days!
I was born in 86 and this is one of my favorite movies! My parents had a VHS and it wore out when I was 7 because I watched it so much. Now I have it on DVD.
Most Wal-Mart stores have a Benji 4-movie collection DVD for 5 dollars in their DVD bargain bins...which includes the original Benji, For the Love of Benji, the Christmas special, and Off the Leash. I just got it yesterday ^_^
How I loved this movie as a kid!! I have never seen it since but still remember how I cried. I am so happy I found at least the intro here on Youtube. Would love to see it again...
