How to watch

Jack London's 1906 novel White Fang has been adapted many times, but the best-known versions are Disney's live-action films. In White Fang, Ethan Hawke plays Jack Conroy, a young man who travels to the Yukon to work his late father's gold claim and forms a deep bond with a half-wolf, half-dog. The sequel, White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf, follows Henry Casey, played by Scott Bairstow, as White Fang helps him and a Haida community. In 2018, Netflix released a separate animated adaptation.

🕐 Release Order

Release order covers the two Disney films first and the standalone animated version afterward.

1. White Fang (1991)
2. White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf (1994)
3. White Fang (2018)

The 2018 animated film is a new adaptation of London's novel rather than a continuation, so it sits outside the Disney timeline.

📖 Story Chronology

For the Disney story, the sequel follows White Fang after Jack leaves the Yukon, so watch the 1991 film first. The animated movie can be watched at any time.

1. White Fang (1991)
2. White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf (1994)
3. White Fang (animated) (2018)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with the 1991 White Fang, a beautifully shot adventure with a strong performance from a young Ethan Hawke. White Fang 2 is a fun follow-up for families who want more of the wolf-dog, and Hawke makes a brief appearance. The 2018 animated version is a gorgeous, more faithful retelling that's great for younger viewers. Families who love animal adventures should also try Balto and Homeward Bound.
