Report
Whoever said dog is man's best friend never met Mij! Mij is a cute, cuddly pet shop otter who captures the heart of Graham Merill (Bill Travers). It doesn't take Graham long to realize that London is no place to raise a slippery otter. So he takes Mij to live in a ramshackle cottage on the coast of Scotland. Together they set out to explore the curious and magnificent natural wonders that surround their seaside home--from orphaned geese to tooth-less sharks. While Mij spends his days frolicking in the icy cold sea, Graham finds himself falling in love with the beautiful town doctor, Mary (Virginia McKenna). Before long, the three become inseparable friends.

Seeing the otter die ( I was a child at the time) was devastating. I still remember it all these years later.

Mij the otter is bludgeoned to death at the end of the film by a rando with a shovel. Happens very abruptly and is hard to watch, even if you know it's coming. You do not see the body. A mother goose is shot by hunters, prompting Graham to foster her babies. Graham and Mary kill a basking shark and cut up its body on the beach. Mij kills Graham's pet fish and is seen hunting wild fish.

Graphic close-up shots of a basking shark carcass as it is butchered.
