I Get No Doggone Respect

Title:  Rover Dangerfield

Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away:  Rodney Dangerfield is a cartoon dog.

Introduction:  I got this at Good Will for a dollar, but it was the sale color so the VHS was also 30% off.

Location:  This shouldn’t matter since it’s animated.  Doesn’t cost extra to send them to the moon (Though they don’t actually go to the moon)

Plot:  A somewhat generic tale of the city dog being moved to the country (against his will).   When he finally makes it back to the city—SPOILER ALERT—he decides he’d rather stay in the country.   Rodney Dangerfield is what makes this movie special.

Acting:  It’s a cartoon, so you can’t really judge it too harshly. 

Production:  It looks like a Warner Bros. cartoon from the 1990s.   It kind of has a Foghorn Leghorn feel to it because they’re on a farm.

Sex/Nudity:  While the two lead dogs eventually have puppies, there is no actual nudity or anything because this is still a cartoon for kids in many ways.

Special Effects:  There aren’t really any because it’s animated.

Overall Verdict:  While there are some songs in this movie, it still remains one of my all-time favorites simply because Rover sings a song about how he’ll pee on any tree but a Christmas tree.  No, I am not making that up.   It’s a great movie to introduce your children to Rodney Dangerfield and prepare them for one day watching him in other movies when they get older.  It’s just all around good family fun.
