Well, there's ONE good thing about it...
12 September 2000
I don't know if this is a little harsh or not...actually, it probably is...but I think the story people working on "All Dogs..." should have taken a few more story-development courses. As another user points out, there is a howling continuity error: the dogs cannot understand other animals, but Charlie the German shepherd sings a duet with the alligator. The songs are outstandingly forgettable. The ending seems hastily written and tacked-on, as if the writers forgot the title of the movie. The editing and transitions are abrupt and look like a bad television version of a cartoon; I was mentally devising where a commercial would go when I watched it the first time.

On the upside, you've got a bizarre sequence where Charlie actually seems to visit hell; not many animated features have done that before. And...well, I guess that's about it for recommendations. This film should be good for kids aged 8-13. That's a narrow target audience, but, hey, make a narrow movie, and that's what you get. Sorry, guys, gotta tell it like it is.
