This movie in my opinion had potential but, went off in mixing Navajo culture with buffalo. as a Navajo myself i found it a bit offensive that they did not even any of our traditional values. they just mixed what they about us with the movie. the plot has some work to do but like i said earlier it had potential. the cast did a fine job and Mr. Green did his best in the pronunciation of the Navajo words. after awhile the cast started getting a bit corny but near the end they pulled themselves together. but there is one thing that i liked about this and that is the distant relation the two main characters have at first because of their culture. I just wish that the producers had spent a little more time in the research of the Navajo.

I really liked this movie! It's a D.C.O.M. (Disney Channel Original Movie) which are pretty good. It's about a family with an only child named Josh. The father of the family gets a job as a scientist and is supposed to move out near some Navajo Indian land. Josh meets a couple guys that become his friends. It's a good story to watch and follow. The parents are portrayed to be loving, caring people for their child. Josh becomes involved with a BMX race with some people that he wanted to make friends with and ends up hurting his true friends in the movie. I like the relationship between the native-American people, the white man, and the buffaloes in this one.

I really enjoyed "Buffalo Dreams." It has been a while since Disney Channel has produced a movie that has focused on cultures. I really liked how they had a family who did not know much at all about Native Americans move into a town that was primarily Navajo. It also gave the viewers a little more knowledge on how some Navajo live.The casting for this movie was excellent. No one could have played Thomas like Simon Baker. He did a GREAT job. And Grahme Greene was a very good choice for the role of the grandfather. He is such a wonderful actor.This was very well done and I recommend it to anyone who likes Disney Channel original movies.

A "fish out of water" plot has Josh moving to the middle of Dine territory where he meets Thomas, Moon, and Scout. He learns the importance of trust, friendship, taking responsibility and being true to himself through a series of mistakes, betrayal of his new friends, and making amends.Thomas and his younger sister, Scout, also come to terms with their own past tragedy, and their places in their community and family.I do not know how accurate the depictions of Dine culture are, but I know that The People and their culture are treated with dignity and respect.Especially touching are performances by Simon Baker (Smoke Signals) and Tessa Vonn (Stealing Innocence)A surprisingly good made for TV movie from Disney.
