Well deserved mammal with a top series of anecdotes attached to every "hilarious" act they get themselves into

The Ferret Squad would be an interesting and fun family movie. I am sure my three children would enjoy it. I am not quite sure why ferrets are even banned in California so if this film could help stop them from being discriminated against I am for it.

Here is the promo video for The Ferret Squad - Please join me in support of this movie and help raise awareness about the 1933 law in California which bans PET FERRETS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38-JCui6orI
This movie is educational in nature and supports awareness of the need for organized Ferret Rescues/Shelters, educated pet owners as well as clearing any misrepresentation that the media has given pet ferrets as rats, rodents, or vicious wild animals! Thanks for your consideration!

Finding my fathers memories would reduce me to a puddle even if I did not know the family. However after the self indulgence of emotion, I was struck by Tod's courage and the families love.
In the day to day we we all face challenges "will I get caught if I text while driving", "will the line at Starbucks be too long".....real important stuff! I would only hope that if faced with the adversity encountered by Tod on a day to day basis I would be able to equate myself with his dignity. Moreover, I would hope my family would be as courageous as the O'Donnell has have been during this difficult time.

FERRETS ALWAYS...
Oh such a "different" pet to behold

In the last year I watched Awakings, The Notebook, Aurora Borealis, Fame, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, A Chorus Line, The Bucket List, and Going in Style. If I wanted to watch something that didn't bring any of these other movies to mind, which would I choose....?

Finding My Dad's Memories is a real life story about my brother, and the challenges he will overcome as their is no quit in Tod O'Donnell. If this was a football movie, Tod would be Brian Picole and I would be Gale Sayers. Tod's close friends and family members will always help him out, and for me, Tod is not heavy he is my brother.

Finding My Dad's Memories is a real life story that will grab your heart and mind and inspire you like nothing else. It will inspire you to never take for granted the important things in life. It amazes me how miraculous this story is. It will blow your mind. It's more about winning. It's not about selling anything. It's about supporting an amazing family through some of the hardest times and cherishing every single moment that life gives you. (thank you Jeremy for posting the trailer link below!!).
Robbie Swain | June 10, 2012 8:19 PM

Yes a ferret movie may well be a lot of laughs and fun for PEOPLE, but, for ferrets it could be a huge and ultimately nightmareish Hell. People watch movies with animals doing cute or heart-warming actions and after the movie's release that particular animal is bought in droves as babies, enjoyed, maybe even enjoyed to the point of abuse, then comes the life-long neglect or surrender to a Rescue IF that pet is lucky. Turning a pet loose to fend for itself is criminal, but few people who do this really care. SO I ask you - if you support this movie - go see it when released and pay attention - there will be messages to teach people about proper care, extremely health care expense, medical care expense and high heart-break rates from owning a ferret. IF you get a ferret, then decide this is not the pet for you, have the decency to give a very large DONATION - cash donation - to the Rescue you now ask to save this baby from your thoughtless purchase... Rescues for all animal types are always strapped for cash so tightly those who run them often can not afford clothes, shoes, good food for themselves and going to a movie or out to dinner is simply out of the question. There are too many neglected, sick, dying pets to save at home, because those who thought "Oh he's so cute - I just have to have one" did not commit to the animal's care for that animals ENTIRE life - good food and vet bills out the butt INCLUDED! Think before you get an "OH He's so cute" pet. It is a responsibility - and comes with EXPENSES of time and money!

Sylvia Reynolds | June 10, 2012 9:12 AM
My daughter Nicola has told me about this up-coming movie, I watched Alison Parker's short film Jake and Jasper...A Ferret Tale, a few weeks ago at my daughter's house, it was brilliant, that little ferret Falcor sure has lots of talent :) I've been told that he is to star in the new movie The Ferret Squad, so this is going to be equally as fantastic as Jake and Jasper. Ferret's are cute, sweet and very intelligent little animals, my girl has kept them for 15 years and is a great supporter of anything and everything to do with these wonderful little creatures. No doubt I'll be watching the movie when it's released and I think it's great that it has a point to get across, to hopefully get people to support the legalization of ferrets in California. Vote, vote, vote for the Ferret Squad x x:)

Seriously, do we need another dance movie? A Ferret movie is fresh and new!
CC | June 9, 2012 5:55 PM
Ferret Squad needs to be made to help educate people about the silly law in California and also to show how gentle these little creatures are
THELMA McNEAL | June 9, 2012 5:22 PM
