Orphan presents the first English-subtitled version of the 1990 movie *Hashire! Shiroi Ookami* (*Run! White Wolf*). Encoded from a somewhat worn Japanese VHS tape; the tape is in "wide-screen" (letterboxed) format. The English dub (usually called *White Fang*) mangles the story a bit to make it seem like the anime is based on Jack London's novel; it's not. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2021/05/hashire-shiroi-ookami.html) for details.
The movie tells the story of a boy, Russ Clagg, taking his increasingly wild wolf, Gray, on a 300km trek to the last remaining wolf habitat in Wisconsin. The movie is very visual, with little dialog; most of it seems to be the young protagonist calling out "Gray!" to get the wolf's attention.

The wolf doesn't seem very interested, to be honest.

Late breaking news: a viewer reported that VLC displays some of the initial signs incorrectly. If you are having that problem, you can fix it with [this patch](https://mega.nz/file/rRxABQpD#ZIutyKLhiusHPoGLIzOZKClG395JA8H05Hc-PbLNTwI).
