Producer Norman Twain spearheads this independent animated film adapted from British author J.R. Ackerley's 1956 novel detailing the 14-year friendship shared between the author and a German shepherd he once rescued. With vocal contributions by Christopher Plummer, Isabella Rossellini, Paul Hecht, and Lynn Redgrave, and animation by Paul and Sandra Fierlinger, this adult-oriented tale of friendship offers a touching testament to the bond between man and beast. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
This was my kind of movie as far as pace, theme, and sophistication, but I had to lower its marks because of the scatological stuff. I was more happy with it than not.
This movie is not for kids!! This animated movie started out charming, creative, well-spoken and pleasant, especially for dog lovers and anglophiles, but it became unpleasant with graphic sexual content and both canine and human animated sexual functioning. It was somewhat smutty and made me uncomfortable. You should know this before you watch it in mixed company. It is a definite NO for children and not a date night movie either.
