Rating:  - A tragic and moving tale
Richard Adams's novel 'The Plague Dogs' always stood in the shadow of his superior masterpiece - the classic 'Watership Down'. The same goes for the animated films, both of them directed by Martin Rosen. The animated version of The Plague Dogs, released four years after the acclaimed Watership Down, never quite achieved the kind of success its predecessor had; not because it wasn't as good, but because of pretty much the same reasons for the novel's limited success. While Watership Down hid violence ... Read More
Rating: - Great watch!
It's great movie to watch! Yes, the ending kinda leaves you hanging but you can surely tell from the mocie that they DO die. But, if you were to read the book, you can see that they live. So, when you watch the end of the movie after to have read th ebook, you would know that the fishermen pull them to shore and save them however,t hey did not put that into the movie. Which makes sense cuz, the book is a lot different than the movie, most of it revolving around Snitter the Smooth Fox Terrier.

Rating: - Powerful and deeply moving story
I agree pretty much with what everyone has already said here about this great film, The Plague Dogs. This is one of, if not thee, most heartbreaking movies I own. Yet, it is so moving and powerful that it's worth going through such viewing pain. It is something that older kids (with care) should probably see. A lot of life lessons can be learned from this movie, such as the cruelty of man and life, and the need to respect living things and treat them with care. I would not describe this movie as preachy either. ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best films ever made!
Even though it's 2005 and this movie is very old, it's still great. I saw this 2 days ago because my parents bought it for me because we couldn't rent it anywhere. We got it for $3.99. It's a very good movie. The animation is poor by today's standards but it's so good! There is one part that is not for children at all! You soon begin to feel sorry for these dogs and The Tod will keep you guessing. But, the end sucks because it never shows if they live or die. They're just swimming when it ends. Minus those couple ... Read More
Rating: - A heart wrenching film
People say kids shouldn't watch this film, but I saw it when I was seven. I did not understand everything, but enough for it to have a great impact on me. Partly because of this film I am an animal rights advocate. I think it is very well done. I loved the dogs esp. Snitter, but I wanted to cry everytime I looked at his head; not because it scared me (if you see the movie you will know what i mean), but because it hurt me to see an animal go through that. I think that kids could watch this and maybe it will help teach ... Read More
