The Man on the Run film directed by Morgan Neville, premiered on the international film festival circuit, where it was met with strong interest for its intimate look at McCartney’s life during the pivotal post-Beatles era. Rather than focusing on stadium-scale fame, the documentary explores themes of freedom, resilience, and creative independence, offering a more human portrait of the artist. The presence of a beautiful Dalmatian in the film’s imagery feels so intentional and in a subtle visual echo of the role animals have played in grounding McCartney through periods of uncertainty and transformation. 

Paul McCartney has long been known as a devoted dog lover, with canine companions woven quietly but meaningfully throughout his life and work. From his beloved Old English Sheepdog Martha who was immortalized in the Beatles song Martha My Dear, to later rescue dogs, animals have been a steady, grounding presence during his most creative and transformative years. Dogs have represented loyalty, normalcy, and companionship for McCartney, often appearing during moments of intense personal change and creative reinvention.

Man on the Run will be available to stream on Amazon Prime beginning February 27, bringing this quieter, more personal chapter of his story to a global audience. Add the date to your calendar, grab some popcorn and pet treats, and plan for a night in with pets and people to watch this facinating film that let’s you go deep into the life of Beatle’s most popular member.

A Plumm Summer is a nostalgic, family-friendly adventure inspired by a true story and set in small-town Montana during the summer of 1968. At its heart, the film follows two brothers and their friends as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of Froggy Doo, a beloved local TV puppet. What unfolds is a warm, humorous coming-of-age story about curiosity, courage, and the magic of childhood summers. A time when, bikes, friendships, and imagination ruled the day.

The screenplay was written by T.J. Lynch,Caroline Zelder and Frank Antonelli, adapting the semi-autobiographical novel. The personal connection gives the film its authenticity that is is not a manufactured family movie, but one rooted in lived experience, small-town charm, and a sincere love for storytelling. Froggy Doo himself becomes a symbol of comfort and continuity, much like a cherished pet or childhood companion, reminding viewers how deeply animals, puppets, and imaginary friends can shape a child’s emotional world.

The cast adds depth and warmth, with performances by William Baldwin, Henry Winkler, and narration by Jeff Daniels, all of whom bring heart without overshadowing the young leads. Henry Winkler’s presence, in particular, adds a comforting gravitas that parents appreciate, while kids connect with the playful adventure and sense of freedom. One of the film’s most memorable sentiments captures its tone perfectly: sometimes the biggest adventures come from the smallest mysteries. That idea, paired with kindness, humor, and a love for the simple things, makes A Plumm Summer a timeless watch for families, animal lovers, and anyone longing for a gentler kind of movie magic.
