Info

When a casino-owning dog named Charlie is murdered by his rival Carface, he finds himself in Heaven basically by default since all dogs go to heaven. However, since he wants to get back at his killer, he cons his way back to the living with the warning that doing that damns him to Hell. Once back, he teams with his old partner, Itchy, to prep his retaliation. He also stumbles onto an orphan girl who can talk to the animals, thus allowing him to get the inside info on the races to ensure his wins to finance his plans. However, all the while, he is still haunted by nightmares of what's waiting for him on the other side unless he can prove that he is worthy of Heaven again.

All Dogs Go to Heaven Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Jesper Brun I watched this movie mainly because I read on the net that it was Barsi's last film before her tragic death, but I discovered a heart-warming tale of friendship and love too! She really is the star in this tear-jerker movie. The whole thing about heaven and sin was beautifully made with the animation combining some well made dark scenes, and some emotional ones, with generally bright colour scheme. Our main character goes through some valuable lessons, and that was brilliant, because Charlie's unlikeability may turn some people off. His transformation is slow, but exellent. The songs aren't especially memorable and to be honest, Burt Reynolds is an actor, not a singer. He and his sidekick, Itchy (Dom Deluise), do brilliant jobs, and in this movie Deluise wasn't over-the-top happy all the time. That was a delight. Carface is also a memorable and intimidating villain with a despicable agenda and matching voice of Vic Tayback. King Gator (Ken Page) was a little obnoxious, but very entertaining. But Judith Barsi is the shining star of All Dogs Go To Heaven. Her last movie, but she will always be Anne-Marie (This Movie) and Ducky (Land Before Time). All Dogs Go To Heaven is a highly recommendable animated movie with good valuable lessons in it. Maybe a little scary at times for the youngest viewers, but to hell with that! There's no harm done by showing kids movies with dark content as long as it has a purpose! And in my opinion, it has the most heart-warming ending in any Don Bluth movie! It may not be his greatest movie due to a little confusing narrative, but it is really worth watching, both for you and your kids.
AStormOfSwords13 Some animated movies we grow to love as kids. Others we don't get an opportunity to see until we're much older. With this movie, I fall in that second category at the age of 24. To be honest, I don't mind having missed this as a kid, but that doesn't automatically make it a bad thing. I've seen better and worse than this as far as animated movies go.All Dogs Go To Heaven is a movie heavily centered on dogs, like The Secret of NIMH for mice and rats, Legend of the Guardians for owls, Finding Nemo for aquatic life, and Madagascar for a lion, zebra, hippopotamus, giraffe, and a group of military penguins. The main protagonist is Charlie, a happy-go-lucky carefree dog who goes through a plot I've seen before, done better and done worse. His plot is one of change, as in, he must change who he is to become something better. He does this through a little girl named Anne-Marie, who is actually a lost girl, but also smart and kind. To see such a change with Charlie through this little girl is heart-warming, but there were some parts about it that were cringe-worthy, so it wasn't all perfect.Then there's Carface, the villain. From the beginning, he really is more annoying and stupid than anything else. He makes harsh decisions for making the sake of making harsh decisions, he is a hypocrite, and he never thinks, blaming his stupidity on his subjects. His motives, or lack thereof, make him a lazily written villain and so Carface easily becomes my biggest gripe about the movie. However, the rest of the cast more than make up for Carface's shortcomings.The jokes and songs don't always land, but when they do, and they do often, it helps the plot of the movie and also make it better in itself. There sad scenes in the film were heartfelt and genuine, so it works. Being Judith Barsi's final film, the fact that the film dedicated so much to her memory, including the ending theme, was a very nice homage and I'm sure she is feeling honored watching this in Heaven even to this day.I wish I could give this film a higher rating, but Carface as a villain is a problem I cannot overlook and there were parts of the film I felt dry, so I'm stuck with giving it a 7. But it is still a good movie and worth a watch.
Adriana Valenzuela (oonaheartsnonny96) I've seen this movie many times and for the most part, I'd just put it in the "Ok" pile. The only parts I remotely enjoy are the first and third acts. The second act is actually really boring to me. The first act is interesting because it establishes the villain and you actually get a taste of the "heaven" aspect, which is actually rather nice. The third act is where the climax of the movie is and you want to know what will happen to the main character. The second act does have a sort of light hearted element to it, but for the most part nothing exciting happens. This is a film that I recommend for older viewers, with 12 being the absolute youngest age to be watching it. Mainly because of the villain and the sort of dark elements. The villain is one of the best villains ever simply because he managed to kill off a main character and is willing to make sure the main character stays dead. The dark elements, such as the Hell scene aren't TOO extreme, but children should still be cautious anyway. Overall, it's a decent flick for older kids who wouldn't mind having to sit through a bunch of boring scenes to get to the good parts.
mervclan This has to be another underrated movie that is very good first the movies I like which are The love bug A goofy movie are another underrated films that where classic and I think this movie should get a better rating because it was charming fun and I love it first off I really want this movie on DVD and the 2nd one as well now lets start off with the story the story is about Charlie who gets hit by a car and goes up to heaven but comes back to life to help a little girl find a family the story is outstanding the movie having an adult touch put to it is very nice and some scary scenes as well this movie is just great and I love it as well as the 2nd one so lets give it a better rating okay. Do you know there is a blue ray one coming out as well as the 2nd one too did you know that so why not give this movie 5 stars in your book so if you have not seen all dogs go to heaven then get out on DVD as well as the 2nd too because they are really good movies Don Bluth is great he makes that family guy greater to his lose so watch any time you like get out on DVD as well as the 2nd too I give it a 10 out of 10. very good.
