Snow Dogs is a 2002 American comedy film directed by Brian Levant, and starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. and James Coburn. The film was released in the United States on January 18, 2002 by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is inspired by the book Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen.
Dr. Theodore "Ted" Brooks (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) is a dentist in Miami, Florida. Every city bus carries an advertisement for his dental practice with his picture.
One day, Ted receives a letter from Alaska, naming him as the only heir of one Lucy Watkins, a resident of the backwoods village of Tolkeetna. Brooks' mother Amelia (Nichelle Nichols) reveals that he is adopted; Lucy was his biological mother.
Ted travels to Tolkeetna to claim his inheritance from Lucy: seven Siberian Husky sled dogs and a Border Collie named Nana.
In Tolkeetna, he discovers his roots. Totally out of his element, Ted experiences challenges he has never dreamed of: blizzards, thin ice, foxes, skunks, bears, an intimidating, crusty old mountain man named James "Thunder Jack" Johnson (James Coburn), and the aggressive, defiant lead dog, Demon. All of this happens with the buzzing excitement of the Arctic Challenge Sled Dog Race, which is only two weeks away.
Meet Coraline
Seems an average girl to the wise
Soft hair, innocent eyes
Perfect lips for perfect lies
She tells them she's fine
How nice it must be
To think that they're blind or that they just don't see
Well, her ignorance flies only so far
And they're just out of reach
So look in her eyes and tell me she's fine
Her dreams come alive
Her perverted attempt at reality, a grotesque demonstration of sanity
Ignored, oh, she cries
As she lies there, so sublime
She tells them she's fine
How nice it must be
To think that they're blind or that they just don't see
Well, her ignorance flies only so far
And they're just out of reach
So look in her eyes and tell me she's fine
You're so sweet, Coraline
Breath, won't you, breath, just you, breath
Oh, you're so sweet, Coraline
All your dreams come alive
Dream
Take a breath so you won't die
Watch her dreams come alive
Oh, sweet Coraline, take a breath so you won't die
She tells them she's fine
How nice it must be
To think that they're blind or that they just don't see
Well, her ignorance flies only so far
And they're just out of reach
So look in her eyes and tell me she's fine
So look in her eyes and tell me she's fine
So look in her eyes and tell me she's fine
Oh, Coraline
