An All Dogs Christmas Carol (1998)

Another straight-to-video sequel of a so-so animated film. The original 1989 All Dogs Go to Heaven was hardly inspired but contained expert Don Bluth animation and the amusing voices of Burt Reynolds and his gang. Now Steven Weber voices the animated mutt Charlie who is still palling around with the same gang through three movies and an animated series. Here the arch villain, Carface (Ernest Borgnine), gets the traditional Dickens treatment of being visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. The opening number, "When I Hear a Christmas Carol," is a good start, but soon TV-ish animation and the low humor wears one down. Kids who like the earlier Dog efforts won't be disappointed, but the entire series can never be defined as great entertainment. The saving grace is the foolproof Christmas Carol visitations. --Doug Thomas Amazon.com

Overall the All Dogs series is a very good series

Overall the DVD was good and very much appropriate for young children. However, after a couple of weeks it had fallen to the back of his preference list. We've not watched it in over a year now. I guess this isn't so different from any other DVD we have.

I would recommend this for young children. It does have quite a few concepts that are not appropriate, but are presented in a way that is way over the heads of children adn does have a few scenes that very concervative parents may term violent.

The worst in the series

This is a cheesy vcerson of the Christmas carol. It messed up the story line from the past to. Characters are alive that are supposed to be dead. Carface is supposed to be in Hell he got pulled down into it at the end of the second one.

If you are 5 or older. The good thing about it is a lot more approapriate than the original and is rated corrected. I think the first one should have ben PG13 and the second should of been PG. Unfortunatley back then the did not have any pg13 rated cartoons until Beehives in Butt do America can out.

It would have be better Ive they had put the king gator in it. Belonda is okey she is evil and wicked. But I've seen betetr. If I had a top hundred villians list see would be the 11th on the list. May 21, 2004

I love The Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie is a very good christmas movie,
and deserves a 5. I wish they made more movies like this.
The movie is about carface a greety dog who steels this little puppy's money for his broken leg. Then Charlie, itchy, and sasha
make a plan to show carface what will happen to him in the past and in the future. It's a christmas carol movie, in a dog version. See the movie. It's very entertaining. November 26, 2003
