The Ugly Dachshund (1965)
Member Rating:  
Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette star in this Walt Disney family comedy as Mark and Fran Garrison, a dog-loving couple with different tastes in canines. When their dachshund gives birth to puppies, kindly veterinarian Dr. Pruitt (Charlie Ruggles) convinces Mark to take a Great Dane puppy home with him. The Great Dane, named Brutus, grows up with the tiny pups convinced that he's also a dachshund. Brutus's confused identity sets the stage for a number of mildly comic bits -- he chases policemen up trees, destroys Mark's studio, and ruins a garden party. Fran finally tells Mark that Brutus has to go, but changes her tune when Brutus saves Fran's favorite dachshund puppy, Chloe, from a scrap heap. When Fran announces that she is entering Chloe in a dog show, Mark secretly enters Brutus in the same contest in an effort to convince Brutus to think like a Great Dane. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

I loved this movie as a kid and loved it even more watching with my own kids! It brought back memories of "The Wonderful World of Disney" from Sunday nights! This is great for animal lovers and kids especially love the crazy trouble the dogs make! It may be dated but it's fun to share that with your kids!

Fantastic family movie, full of laughter as Dean Jones usually is. We laughed and had a great time.

I never realized how much dachsunds look like rats until I rented this movie. The thing I think the director did best is to create the dogs as characters. They overshadow the human actors, except Charles Ruggles, who is one of those great charactor actors you just don't see any more. This is a good family movie worth watching with your kids.

Any animal lover will appreciated this light-hearted, entertaining comedy. Kids and adults will laugh together. I've watched it a million times.

If you are a Daschund or Great Dane fan, you will love this movie. It is a cute story that is obviously very outdated (from the 60s), but still quite funny. The dogs are very cute and do a lot of funny things throughout the movie. A great kids movie.
