jackthepgl Review of All Dogs Go to Heaven

All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)

It'll be on anybody's soft spot for Don Bluth fans.

[9/10 · 25 August 2023]

Okay, let me get to the basics here, whenever people have heard the title All Dogs Go To Heaven, they think that it's sad because of dogs going to heaven. I mean, come on, it's not that sad. Now that that's been taken care of, let's get this going. Charlie B. Barkin voiced by Burt Reynolds is being murdered by his friend, Carface voiced by Vic Tayback and then returns to Earth to reunite with his best friend, Itchy, who is by far my favourite character in the film voiced by Dom DeLuise and then they found a orphan girl who talks to animals. Now I am not be alone with this but I'm not the only one who sings the songs in this. My friend, Sam Guy is a fan of this film, like myself. We sang the first song in Drama Club and we know exactly where it starts. "Charlie, ain't you supposed to be on death row?" "No! I ain't supposed to be on death row." "Hey, I got him out." "Things have changed, Charlie, since you've been gone... Life hasn't been no piece of cake." "Carface ain't been treating us too good." "Things are tough, but we carry on..." "Could you spare a couple of bones, for old time's sake?" "Why settle for a couple of bones when you could have the whole bank?" "Charlie! Charlie, look! Here's the jackpot! Attaboy, Charlie! I'm proud of ya! Charlie, tell them!" That's right, His favourite character is Charlie Barkin and me as Itchy singing along with him. And uh, there is another song which after Charlie goes to heaven and uh it's not even a musical number. It's more than a musical dialogue. And who'd ever thought that Burt Reynolds can sing? I have. And that's all I can say about the songs. The film doesn't even count as a musical. They only have three songs in it and two musical dialogues and that's it. But there is one song which I've heard many years and it's called "Love Survives" and whilst I've listen to it, it was beautiful, no matter what. Much like one of the films made by Don Bluth in the 80's, All Dogs Go To Heaven had a bad rap and pretty much the only animated film that got mixed back comparing it to The Little Mermaid. Gee, I wonder what it is like in the 80's? Anyways, me and my friend Sam Guy are the fans of this movie along with the sequel which I'll get to in the meantime. And it spawned a TV series which I've never watched and a Christmas special. It has memorable characters, good songs and wonderful animation. Really great stuff! So as you can see it's not even a sad movie. I mean, I know that all animals go to heaven cause who knows. So if you love your dog especially cats and pets, just wanted you to know, you can't keep a good dog down.
