For a generation of children, the plucky Jack Russell terrier with an insatiable appetite for literature was a beloved gateway to classic stories. Directed by Joey Stewart, this affectionate documentary delves into the creation and enduring legacy of the groundbreaking PBS series Wishbone, which cleverly wove canine adventures with adaptations of timeless novels. Featuring interviews with cast members including Larry Brantley, who provided the iconic voice of the titular pup, Mary Chris Wall, and Matthew Tompkins, the film explores how a small-budget show from Texas captured the imagination of millions by making Shakespeare, Homer, and Cervantes accessible and exciting for young audiences. Through behind-the-scenes footage and reflections from fans like Mo Rocca, the documentary examines the show’s unique blend of live-action storytelling, educational ambition, and pure heart. It celebrates the remarkable performance of Soccer the Dog, the canine star who brought Wishbone to life, and investigates why the series remains so fondly remembered. What's the Story, Wishbone? is a warm, nostalgic tribute to a cultural touchstone that proved great stories, no matter how old, are always better with a dog.
