It creates kind of a laidback atmosphere, but at the same time, it doesn't ignore the real dangers that are out there for our main characters. He talks through the film very similar to how a nature documentary would work, and it just so happens Disney did a lot of those at the time, though many of them were as staged as this movie was.

The remake is essentially the same thing, there's just one major difference. Some try to help them out, even keep them, but the animals always leave to find their true home. But they come across some nice people, too. All right, maybe not all dangerous, just weird. There's not really too much other story, and, honestly, you don't need it, as they come across so many strange and dangerous things, like bears and porcupines and crazy people.
