Title: All Dogs Go To Heaven Genre: Animation Starring: Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Loni Anderson, Charles Nelson Rilley Director: Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, Dan Kuenster Studio: MGM (Video & DVD) Runtime: 84 Minutes Release Date: March 29, 2011 Format: BLU-RAY Discs: 1 MPAA Rating: Rating: ( )Grade: D- Factoid: While in heaven, Charlie passes through an area where there are clocks and watches. On a wristwatch, just before Charlie moves on, you see Mickey Mouse. There was a time when Disney had some competition, way before Dreamworks popped up out of nowhere, and that competition was MGM and their Don Bluth films. The difference between the two pivotal Family Film juggernauts were night and day. Disney relied on a dash of dark versus light fairytale magic where everything worked out in the end so that little boys and girls were able to go on an adventure in a surreal fantasy world were most things were friendly. Bluth and company relied heavily on mixing realism with their tales, giving kids and adults a hard look at the ugliness of humanity and the world, be it in the form of dogs or rats or space aliens, but providing them with a moral lesson that no one is perfect but that everyone can strive to be. All Dog’s Go To Heaven heavily signified this aspect of the Bluth era. Unfortunately for fans like myself who were exited to see Bluth’s work coming to BD (The Secret of NIHM, Anastasia, Dragon’s Lair) be prepared to be disappointed with this one.
