Never Cry Wolf (film)
Never Cry Wolf is a 1983 American drama film directed by Carroll Ballard. The film is an adaptation of Farley Mowat's 1963 autobiography "Never Cry Wolf" and stars Charles Martin Smith as a government biologist sent into the wilderness to study the caribou population, whose decline is believed to be caused by wolves, even though no one has seen a wolf kill a caribou. The film also features Brian Dennehy and Zachary Ittimangnaq. It was the first Disney film to be released under the new Walt Disney Pictures label. The film has been credited as being responsible for the establishment of Touchstone Pictures, which was created by the Walt Disney Studios a year after the film's release.

Never Cry Wolf
Never Cry Wolf is an account of the author’s experience observing wolves in subarctic Canada by Farley Mowat, first published in 1963 by McClelland and Stewart. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1983. It has been credited for dramatically changing the public image of the wolf to a more positive one. In the book, Mowat describes his experiences in a first-person narrative that sheds light on his research into the nature of the Arctic wolf. In 1948–1949, the Dominion Wildlife Service assigns the author to investigate the cause of declining caribou populations and determine whether wolves are to blame for the shortage.
Charles Martin Smith
Charles Martin Smith (born October 30, 1953) is an American film actor, writer, and director. He is best known for his roles in "American Graffiti" (1973), "The Buddy Holly Story" (1978), "Never Cry Wolf" (1983), "Starman" (1984), "The Untouchables" (1987), "Deep Cover" (1992), "Speechless" (1994) and "Deep Impact" (1998). He is further known for directing the films "The Snow Walker" (2003), "Dolphin Tale" (2011) and "Dolphin Tale 2" (2014). Smith was born in Van Nuys, California. His father, Frank Smith, was a film cartoonist and animator, while his uncle Paul J. Smith was an animator as well as a director for the Walter Lantz Studios.
Dubbing (filmmaking)
Dubbing, mixing or re-recording is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are "mixed" with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack. The process usually takes place on a dub stage. After sound editors edit and prepare all the necessary tracks – dialogue, automated dialogue replacement (ADR), effects, Foley, music – the dubbing mixers proceed to balance all of the elements and record the finished soundtrack. Dubbing is sometimes confused with ADR, also known as "additional dialogue replacement", "automated dialogue recording", and "looping", in which the original actors re-record and synchronize audio segments.
List of films considered the worst
The films listed below have been cited by a variety of notable critics in varying media sources as being among the worst films ever made. Examples of such sources include Metacritic, Roger Ebert's list of most-hated films, "The Golden Turkey Awards", "Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide", Rotten Tomatoes, the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, "Mystery Science Theater 3000", and the Golden Raspberry Awards ("Razzies"). "Reefer Madness" (originally released as "Tell Your Children" and sometimes titled or subtitled as "The Burning Question", "Dope Addict", "Doped Youth", and "Love Madness") is a 1936 American exploitation film and propaganda work revolving around the melodramatic events that ensue when high school students are lured by pushers to try marijuana—from a hit and run accident, to manslaughter, suicide, attempted rape, and descent into madness.
Cry Wolf (band)
Cry Wolf is a hair metal band formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid-1980s. Originally named Heroes, the band consisted of Tim Hall (vocals), Steve McKnight (guitar), Phil Deckard (bass), John Freixas (drums) and JC Crampton (Keyboards). Originally formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid ‘80s before relocating to Southern California, Cry Wolf has been described as "“much a part of the LA rock scene as Poison, Mötley Crüe and LA Guns, but they only managed one album, 'Crunch', released in 1990. This was a harder, darker affair than the products of their peer group and categorically distanced them from hair and glam rock.”"  Twenty years later, Cry Wolf has returned with their highly anticipated new CD ‘Twenty Ten‘.
